Before trying to provide any hint, but also to be able to understand and
fix the problem, we need to have a clear status of your system. Could
you please run the following commands and send us the output:
- dpkg -l "libc*"
- ls -l /lib /lib32 /lib64 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
Thanks,
Aurelien
