My PopOS is totally fucked. Audio is fucked because of some problem with systemd and I can't upgrade shit to try to fix it.

This is the dumbest shit. I hate apt so much. Never fails to produce issues.

My crime? Trying to install GLIBC 2.38? Is that such a crime??

@cleverboi you have entered... DEPENDENCY HELL

you will most likely need to downgrade glibc to the version podman expects and then remove the "manually installed" flag

How to remove the "installed manually" flag and revert to "automatically installed" with apt-get?

To compile something, I needed the zlib1g-dev package to be installed so I launched an apt-get install zlib1g-dev. apt-get informed me nicely that the package was already auto-installed because o...

@fdavies93 Thanks for the response. I will try this.

I should note that at no place does apt actually refer to glibc as being part of the issue. It’s just a system package that I forcibly upgraded because of the number of Rust projects I can’t run with this hella old glibc in the PopOS repos.

I do take accountability for forcibly upgrading a low level system package and I was aware of the risk at the time of doing so, but I still blame apt for the shit-tier error messages.

you may want to take a look at histories of projects / packages to see if any are compatible with older glibc variants

@fdavies93 How dare you bring logic into this house
@fdavies93 So I tried downgrading to 2.35, because that's what dpkg logs show I had, and I somehow broke both sudo and su lol. So Pop rebooted into recovery mode and let me refresh the OS. Everything is good and I've learned absolutely nothing, I will absolutely break it again.
@cleverboi A great result (?!)
