[Launchpad Bug Tracker <2109333@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package glibc - 2.42-2ubuntu1

---------------
glibc (2.42-2ubuntu1) resolute; urgency=medium

  [ Simon Chopin ]
  * Disable ELF metadata because it creeps into everything (LP: #2109333)

  [ Simon Poirier ]
  * Merge Debian glibc 2.42 branch. Dropped changes, superseded:
    - Fix pthread page guard on linux<6.13
    - Revert dropping the ldconfig wrapper, as we still have a lot of packages
      that don't ship a trigger but instead call in postinst. (LP: #2127856)
    - Explicitly enable sframe
  * d/p/git-updates.diff: Update from upstream stable branch.

glibc (2.42-2) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Samuel Thibault ]
  * patches/hurd-i386/git-random-malloc.diff: Use upstream patch.

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * debian/rules.d/build.mk: remove /lib from ld.so.conf files.  Closes:
    #1111805.

  [ Luca Monducci ]
  * Update Italian debconf translation.  Closes: #1111902.

  [ Aurelien Jarno ]
  * debian/control.in/libc, debian/rules.d/debhelper.mk: change
    libc-gconv-modules-extra Recommends into a Depends as many packages still
    use the extra gconv modules.
  * debian/patches/git-updates.diff: update from upstream stable branch.
    - debian/patches/hurd-i386/git-random-malloc.diff: upstreamed.
    - debian/symbols.wildcards: add new GLIBC_ABI_DT_X86_64_PLT,
      GLIBC_ABI_GNU_TLS and GLIBC_ABI_GNU2_TLS versions.
  * debian/sysdeps/riscv64.mk: remove TIMEOUTFACTOR override as buildds are
    not QEMU based anymore.
  * debian/sysdeps/riscv64.mk: configure with --enable-multi-arch.
  * debian/control.in/main: drop ${shlibs:Depends} for
    libc-gconv-modules-extra to avoid creating a dependency loop. This can be
    re-added once libc6 changes back the Depends into a Recommends.

glibc (2.42-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Aurelien Jarno ]
  * New upstream release:
    - debian/copyright: update following upstream changes.
    - debian/symbols.wildcards: add 2.42.

    - debian/local/usr_sbin/locale-gen: stop passing locales.alias in the
      localedef call.

    - debian/patches/all/local-ru_RU.diff: drop, obsolete
  * debian/rules.d/{build.mk,debhelper.mk}: add makefile dependencies to get
    the package buildable with make --shuffle=reverse.  Closes: #1105334.
  * debian/rules, debian/rules.d/control.mk: remove temporary libc{6,6.1,0.3}
    files after the debian/control rule instead of in the clean rule.

  * debian/rules: simplyfing using dpkg mk fragments files.
  * debian/rules.d/debhelper.mk: merge normal and stage1 debhelper_% targets.
  * Split-out gconv modules for non-Latin-1 and non-UTF encoding into a
    separate package (Closes: #1005193):
    - debian/control.in/main: add libc-gconv-modules-extra.
    - debian/control.in/libc: recommends libc-gconv-modules-extra.
    - debian/debhelper.in/libc.install: do not list any gconv file, the list
      of gconv files is now computed dynamically.
    - debian/rules.d/debhelper.mk: dynamically compute the list of gconv files
      based on the gconv configuration files, for both the libc and
      libc-gconv-modules-extra packages.
    - debian/rules: Add libc-gconv-modules-extra to the list of arch:any
      packages to build.
  * debian/control.in/main, debian/sysdeps/{amd64,arm64,i386,x32}.mk: enable
    SFrame support for amd64 and arm64 builds.

  [ Samuel Thibault ]
  * debian/testsuite-xfail-debian.mk: Update xfails.  Closes: #1110125.

  [ Simon Chopin ]
  * debian/rules.d/build.mk: use envvars for CFLAGS rather than configparms
