I’ve been trying the COSMIC store and it looks like it killed my apt somehow. Apt says that there is a version mismatch between some libc6 packages, but I checked with dpkg and it all looks correct.

Apt says that I’ve a newer version of some packages but that is not true. Is there any way to fix this?

EDIT: Fixed formatting

    My best guess is that the Debian Unstable repository doesn’t have all the libc6 packages updated to the same version. I might just have to wait and see what happens

      Looks like that might have changed, libc-gconv-modules-extra has an i386 package for 2.42-5 added at like midnight UTC+1. Given the sources only update every 6 hours, might be you found an unlucky update in between?

      Struggled to find a time for the release, but the changelog has one, unsure how true to package-available time that is:

      glibc (2.42-5) unstable; urgency=medium
      
        [ Martin Bagge ]
        * Update Swedish debconf translation.  Closes: #1121991.
      
        [ Aurelien Jarno ]
        * debian/control.in/main: change libc-gconv-modules-extra to Multi-Arch:
          same as it contains libraries.
        * debian/libc6.symbols.i386, debian/libc6-i386.symbols.{amd64,x32}: force
          the minimum libc6 version to >= 2.42, to ensure GLIBC_ABI_GNU_TLS is
          available, given symbols in .gnu.version_r section are currently not
          handled by dpkg-shlibdeps.
