[Bug 1866844] Re: package libc6:amd64 2.31-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: installed libc6:amd64 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127

The bug filed here is about an upgrade to libc6 2.31-0ubuntu3 which was
known to be buggy and never migrated out of focal-proposed.  It is
therefore not a good description of the problem.  I'm looking now at
trying to reproduce this problem, but what we need are good logs from a
user who was affected by this when upgrading to -0ubuntu5 in the focal
release pocket.
