I have an internet-less ubuntu server (amd64) which is accessed via ssh. To install a package i installed "libc6-udeb_2.13-38+deb7u10_amd64.udeb" which messed up everything. Now i get this error

sudo: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found 

on very command that i give. No new ssh connections can be created, only the one that i am working on is live. There is no way i can "apt-get update" as there is no Internet. I cannot manually install the packages as i wont be able to copy them to the server.

This is a very valuable machine and i cannot tweak the OS. I have looked up this problem but the solutions require internet access. I cannot install using flash drive either. I am stuck bad. It is not running any command either.

Can anyone please help?

  • No, it still gives the same error "cat: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by cat)"

  • No, it does not run any command. I tried purging.

  • I ran into a similar problem with libc.so.6 and GLIBC_2.27. I spent hours trying to fix it. In the end I just created a new partition and installed Ubuntu on it. Then I mounted the old partition and manually copied over data directories I needed. I feel your pain... Aug 26, 2018 at 15:45
  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix this is what i am thinking as well. However, this would not export all the valuable installations and the setup that was done on this server. Is there any way in the world that i could reverse this mess?
