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

    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.
