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

      Can also endorse aptitude, but hopefully OP already has it installed prior to this issue. May have to manually install using dpkg if not. Whenever I run into issues like this, aptitude solves it 95% of the time, makes regular apt look like a baby helplessly crying.

        Somehow I can’t even install aptitude trough dpkg because it says that the filesystem is read-only

            No, I just figured it out. I had to enable a systemd service to test Cosmic. I have disabled it and now dpkg works and I manually installed Aptitude with its dependencies.

            I tried to do an upgrade with Aptitude but it won’t do anything. I’ll look into it more later
