`GLIBC_2.33' not found
See original GitHub issueThe problem
After upgrading the core from 2021.12.10 to 2022.2.2, my Google Nest integration failed completely (no communication & unable to even remove the integration; no response from the widget). The error “`GLIBC_2.33’ not found” is shown across each log, pointing to a missing component in my OS’s (Raspbian Bullseye) libc6 package.
So I attempted to install an updated libc6 package that is not yet deemed compatible (from Raspbian Bookworm). But after a reboot, the error just changed to a different missing component… and also killed my SSH server no matter how I troubleshot it.
Downgrading the core back to 2021.12.10 allowed my Google Nest integration to work again 100%. Though I still had to restore a backup to resurrect SSH…
Again, running Raspbian Bullseye on a Raspberry Pi 4b, 4GB. See the attached logs for debugging. I’d really like to apply the thousands of Home Assistant fixes/updates from the latest version, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This issue still happens.
I mainly have the same approach; built the
