execute bit is missing on libc.so.6

This was supposed to be fixed in Lunar by merging the overall Debian changes, but that hasn't happened and been postponed to mantic. We usually don't fix such things in interim releases, so the only SRU will be for Jammy.

Since the devel fix is entangled with lots of other stuff, I'll be uploading the Jammy fix without waiting for it.

> This causes trouble for some scripts that try to determine the glibc version by executing this file, for instance the LSF scheduler.

Please could you expand on this? What's the user story that's actually broken? For example, the Test Plan makes no mention of the LSF scheduler, so how are you going to know if impacted users are actually going to be fixed?

OK, IBM's LSF scheduler is only used by some HPC installations. I can imagine other software also using a similar trick to determine in a script the glibc version as LSF does:

```
                for glibc in `ldconfig -p | grep libc.so.6 | sed 's/.*=>//'`
                do
                    if [ -x "$glibc" ] ; then
                        $glibc >/dev/null 2>&1
                        if [ "$?" != "0" ] ; then
                            continue
                        fi
                        _libcver=`$glibc 2>/dev/null | grep "GNU C Library" | $AWK '{print $10}' | $AWK -F. '{print $2}' | sed 's/,//'`
                    fi
                    if [ "$_libcver" != "" ] ; then
                        break
                    fi
                done
                if [ "$_libcver" = "" ] ; then
                    echo "Cannot figure out the GLibc version."
                    exit 1
                fi
```

Maybe this code is worth becoming a test?

I adjusted the test plan to use a slightly modified version of your script, thanks!

Hello Reinhold, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glibc into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.35-0ubuntu3.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Tested the proposed fix in docker on a mac - all looks fine, in particular /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 is executable as desired.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for glibc has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
