Questions tagged [glibc]
glibc is the GNU C Library, which provides many common and important functions for programs. Almost every program in Ubuntu directly or indirectly depends on this, and will completely fail to run without it. Besides the kernel, glibc is probably the most essential part of the system; even the init daemon requires it. In Ubuntu, glibc is provided by the libc6 package.
