[Bug 1926355] Re: Snap applications segfault with new core20 (rev: 1015+)

[Lmoal Laoml]

Hello, apt was not able to resolve dependencies when trying to install
clang on my end as well, and was saying that the package depends on
libc6=2.31-0ubuntu9.2, which is not installed and can't be installed. I
tried the fix @alkisg suggested and it works now. It downgraded 8-9
libc* packages, and I am now able to install clang

  Snap applications segfault with new core20 (rev: 1015+)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * Core20 snap built with updated glibc crashes snaps also bundling
  glibc.

  [Test Plan]

  * Build core20 snap with glibc in focal-proposed. Test a snap (which
  is not core20) bundling glibc:

  TODO: install locally built core20? 
  snap install test-snapd-rsync-core20 --edge
  snap run test-snapd-rsync-core20.rsync

  [Where problems could occur]

  * The previous glibc update (2.31-0ubuntu9.3) had a fix (LP: #1914044)
  that broke snaps bundling a previous version of glibc
  (2.31-0ubuntu9.2) due to them being incompatible. The fix of LP:
  #1914044 is reverted and 2.31-0ubuntu9.4 does not include changes
  incompatible with 2.31-0ubuntu9.2, thus the crash should not occur. No
  problems are expected.

  [Original Bug Text]
  It seems that with our new core20 in the beta channel all snaps seem to be segfaulting. We recently had a new glibc landed in focal-updates - might be related.
