Package: libc6
Version: 2.31-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
This is related to #965086 and #965087 (and, in fact, possibly
causing them). After a glibc upgrade half the system services
(postfix, sshd, apt-get(!)) don’t work any more.
Downgrading with dpkg -i the following set of packages fixes it:
libc-bin_2.30-8_x32.deb
libc-dev-bin_2.30-8_x32.deb
libc-l10n_2.30-8_all.deb
libc6-dbg_2.30-8_x32.deb
libc6-dev_2.30-8_x32.deb
libc6_2.30-8_amd64.deb
libc6_2.30-8_i386.deb
libc6_2.30-8_x32.deb
locales-all_2.30-8_x32.deb
locales_2.30-8_all.deb
unscd_0.53-1+b3_x32.deb

Noticeable: the sign-extended address.
I haven’t yet managed to reproduce this in a stand-alone program.
