While following this answer, I ran into this issue:

Unable to find a version "2.31-0ubuntu9.2" for the package "libc-bin"
Unable to apply some actions, aborting

After running this command:

sudo aptitude install libc-bin=2.31-0ubuntu9.2 libc6:amd64=2.31-0ubuntu9.2 libc6:i386=2.31-0ubuntu9.2 libc6-dbg:amd64=2.31-0ubuntu9.2 locales=2.31-0ubuntu9.2

Do I need to add a new repository to get these old versions? Can I install different versions and still get the same effect?

Similar question: Unable to find a version for the package "libc6"

UPDATE: I am running this in a Ubuntu 20.04 docker container in a gitpod.io workspace. I also found this and I thought it might be an alternative solution to my problem, but I am not sure at all... Any ideas?

UPDATE AGAIN: I can find 2.31-0ubuntu9.2 here can I directly install the binary?

  • I see 2.31-0ubuntu9.7 available; though it'll be replaced by 2.31-0ubuntu9.9 soon, but you've not provided any OS/release details. – guiverc May 03 '22 at 00:06
  • @ChanganAuto I did, I am using a docker container so I don't care about messing up my system – mteam88 May 03 '22 at 00:47

  • I would be very careful trying to install older obsolete binary versions. Installing one piece by hand will likely affect all other compiler bits. Why do you need that specific version, instead of just installing libc6>=2.3.1-0 and accepting latest compiler versions in the repos with security patches or bug fixes? – Thomas Ward May 03 '22 at 01:42
  • @ThomasWard I am trying to downgrade libc6 to version 9.2 because I was following the link listed at the top of my question. https://askubuntu.com/a/1372227/1592304 – mteam88 May 03 '22 at 10:44
