[Bug 1962328] [NEW] libc6-x32 will not install | version mismatch

[Ken Sharp]

Public bug reported:

When trying to install libc6-x32, which should be pretty straight
forward, it refuses apparently because libc6 is too new.

$ sudo apt install libc6-x32
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6-x32 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.31-0ubuntu9.2) but 2.31-0ubuntu9.3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Obviously I'd rather not downgrade libc6. Does libc6-x32 need to be
rebuilt?

** Affects: glibc (Ubuntu)
