Is my apt bugged? (feddit.it)

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?

Try all the cleanup commands, so:

apt autoremove; apt clean; apt autoclean; apt update

Then reboot and try again.

But yes, it looks weird.

    Okay, I've read into your post a bit more and something is fishy. You have libc6 for different CPU-architectures installed.

    Programs for i368 and amd64 should not be installed on the same machine. The error probably stems from that.

    Run the following to find out the architecture:

    uname -p

    If it says 'x86_64' then it's amd64 and if it's something like 'i368’ then it's that. Otherwise, your system might be really borked...

    And then remove the wrong one.
