MongoDB Database Tools 100.9.2 not compatible with Debian 11 (Bullseye)

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug

      Problem Statement/Rationale

      We updated our mongodb-database-tools package from 100.9.1 to 100.9.2 recently on our Debian 11 systems. Sadly, the tools aren't able to start anymore - see actual results.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Install mongodb-database-tools=100.9.2 provided by the MongoDB 5.0 Bullseye Repo https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian/dists/bullseye/mongodb-org/5.0/

      Expected Results

      MongoDB Tools should continue to work after updating to 100.9.2.

      Actual Results

      It seems to look like glibc 2.32 or 2.34 are a hard dependency now, as none of the tools are able to start:

      ~$ mongodump
      mongodump: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by mongodump)
      mongodump: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by mongodump)
      ~$ mongotop
      mongotop: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by mongotop)
      mongotop: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by mongotop)
      ~$ mongofiles
      mongofiles: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by mongofiles)
      mongofiles: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by mongofiles)
      

      There is no newer glibc version available, the latest libc6 version in Debian 11 is 2.31.

      Installing mongodb-database-tools=100.9.1 fixes the problem.

      It is possible that older Debian versions are affected by this as well.
