[Bug 2129932] Re: package libc6:amd64 2.35-0ubuntu3.11 failed to install/upgrade: package libc6:amd64 is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')

 

Thank you for reporting this bug and making Ubuntu better.

Your system appears to be in an odd state. Most of the packages are from
Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy), but before the error you appear to be installing
simplescreenrecorder with versions of 24.04 (Noble). Did you
accidentally update apt sources lists to Noble without doing a proper
upgrade?

** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

  You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   libnsl-dev : Depends: libnsl2 (= 1.3.0-3build3) but 1.3.0-2build2 is installed
   locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.39)
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
