GLIBC_2.x not found
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed as a packaging/build-host mismatch: maintainers cited the wrong base snap, wrong build OS, or destructive mode, not a Snapcraft defect.
Resolution: closed not a bug
Reason: Maintainer ~ogra said affected packagers must use appropriate bases/build environments; ~sergiusens also suggested --destructive-mode or an old Snapcraft. No resolving PR or commit was identified.

Issue body
There are a couple related bugs about glibc issues involving the `core` snap. See below for a list.
I don't know if these are bugs in the snaps using them, or in the snap core, or whatever, but as there are so many of them I thought it might have to do with snap. (Even if not, this bug report might serve others with the same problem in finding out how to resolve it.)
