MakeMKV Missing Dependancies post 1.17.6

[microtechno9000]

Linked issue from ARM 🐛 MakeMKV Bug - Bluray ripping not functioning in ARM #1195

MakeMKV have released a new version of software, 1.17.8
Quick testing, seems that it requires a newer version of libc

ARM running phusion/baseimage:focal-1.2.0

# makemkvcon -v
makemkvcon: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by makemkvcon)
makemkvcon: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by makemkvcon)

# uname -r
5.15.0-122-generic

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

currently libc6 can't be updated

Testing proposed solution in docker container, as suggested in ARM issue Stackoverflow

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt install libc6

makemkvcon returns:

# makemkvcon -v
makemkvcon: invalid option -- 'v'
Use: makemkvcon [switches] Command [Parameters]

Commands:
  info <source>
      prints info about disc
  mkv <source> <title id> <destination folder>
      saves a single title to mkv file
  backup <source> <destination folder>
      backs up disc to a hard drive
  f <args>
      run universal firmware tool
  reg <key string or file name>
      enter registration key into program

Source specification:
  iso:<FileName>    - open iso image <FileName>
  file:<FolderName> - open files in folder <FolderName>
  disc:<DiscId>     - open disc with id <DiscId> (see list Command)
  dev:<DeviceName>  - open disc with OS device name <DeviceName>

Switches:
  -r --robot        - turn on "robot" mode, see http://www.makemkv.com/developers

However, running the install_makemkv.sh script fails, reporting a gcc error.

Rebuilding the container and running again, confirmed.

1. Running install_makemkv.sh works, no issues reported
2. Makemkv reports an error GLIBC_2.33 not found
3. Updated repo and installed libc6
4. Re-ran install_makemkv.sh, which fails
5. Updated docker container apt upgrade, to see if packages were out of date, no change (still fails)

Running the install_mkv_hb_deps.sh didn't help.

Confirmed the issue with dependencies and libc6, as the update and removal of packages failed.

Testing proposed solution in docker container, as suggested in ARM issue Stackoverflow

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt install libc6

Bad idea, bad suggestion, please don't try to switch out libc on a system just like that, since the entire OS depends on a specific version and things might and/or will break otherwise. Thankfully apt was still able to run afterward, but theoretically if you shift from certain libc versions to others, you might not even be able to use basic apt or even just apt-get commands anymore. You could theoretically have installed a secondary libc version alongside and point makemkv to that instead. This would then not break the rest of the system.

Anyway, IMO the solution is to use jammy, which comes with a newer libc right away. See #331 for that.
