Issues with "`GLIBC_2.32' and `GLIBC_2.34' not found" when Installing Coursier as per Scala 'getting Started' Official Instructions - scala

Question

What I am trying to do:
I want to get started with Scala, as per https://docs.scala-lang.org/getting-started/index.html.
curl -fL https://github.com/coursier/launchers/raw/master/cs-x86_64-pc-linux.gz | gzip -d > cs && chmod +x cs && ./cs setup
The error I am getting:

Things I have tried:
sudo apt --fix-broken install

sudo apt install -y libc6 libc-bin

libc-bin is already the newest version (2.31-0ubuntu9.9).
libc-bin set to manually installed.
libc6 is already the newest version (2.31-0ubuntu9.9).

Ultimately, I downloaded the deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/groovy/amd64/libc6/2.32-0ubuntu2. When I run sudo dpkg -i libc6_2.32-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb I get:
dpkg: regarding libc6_2.32-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb containing libc6:amd64:
libc6:amd64 breaks locales (<< 2.32)
locales (version 2.31-0ubuntu9.9) is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing archive libc6_2.32-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (--install):
installing libc6:amd64 would break locales, and
deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6_2.32-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
Otherwise, if I try to force it i.e.
sudo dpkg --force-all i libc6_2.32-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb, I get:
dpkg: error: need an action option
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' !

Answer 1

You may try the static compiled version of the cs:
https://github.com/coursier/launchers/raw/master/cs-x86_64-pc-linux-static.gz
At least in my setup this worked.

Answer 2

It's already an issue on their Github, which was closed 19 hours ago and will be fixed in the next release
