Just wanted to add that trying to update via the terminal with pkcon fails with the same error.
Comment 3 Christian Hartmann 2022-03-05 07:44:32 UTC
apparently
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
fixed it

and likely 
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure libc6
would also do the job
Comment 4 O.C.Nilsen 2022-03-05 10:48:27 UTC
That did indeed fix the problem. Thank you!
Comment 5 Carlos De Maine 2025-09-20 09:35:20 UTC
Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!

feel free to close this, as it is no longer relevant. switched to Trixie lately
