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
Came here expecting it to be about someone listening to your package installs
Try all the cleanup commands, so:
apt autoremove; apt clean; apt autoclean; apt update
Then reboot and try again.
But yes, it looks weird.
Has it added repos that are conflicting with your distro's main ones?
Check /etc/apt/sources.list and all the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
Move anything that looks sus to somewhere else and then "apt-get clean" and retry.
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
Time for "aptitude"
did you apt update beforehand ? it is weird that it's trying to install lower level libc6
I suggest you install the stable version (since stability and predictability are the main features of Debian). If you need the latest packages go Arch (or any other rolling-release distro).
Ubuntu ppa in not-Ubuntu?
Looks more like whatever repo you're trying out is bugged.
What does dpkg --print-foreign-architectures say?
This is a feature not a bug.
