As you can see at

http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/

, this version is not in the repo anymore. This is most probably caused by an outdated apt cache, i. e. you haven't issued an

apt-get update

before. Try it again with

apt-get update && apt-get install alien

    It sometimes also helps to add --fix-missing, as in apt-get update --fix-missing && apt-get install <package>. Feb 20, 2019 at 18:08

  • Same happens to me for curl installation. --fix-missing increase the build to from seconds to almost 10 min :S
