ready-for.sh + Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS = libc6 is too new?

glushkov

Hi,

I am trying to check my set-up with ready-for.sh [1] on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS [2] and I am getting the following error [3]:

 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.31-0ubuntu9.2) but 2.31-0ubuntu9.3 is to be installed

Any idea how to fix this? Or the script should be fixed?

Cheers,
Ivan

Sorry for the noise. This [1] helped me solve my problem.

Hi @glushkov, I'm glad you were able to fix it. And I just closed it.
