Could you please give us the exact error message you encountered,
including the symbol name (a photo is fine), so that we can narrow down
the problem? At a first glance it looks like the libc has been partially
upgraded, and that you now have a mix of both 2.21 and 2.22.
Then we can instruct you how to fix your system, probably using
debian-installer in rescue mode.
