The question for me, is where did that v3.1 come from? Version 3 is in jammy main, but you have 2 candidate versions for libc6, 2.35-0ubuntu3, and 2.35-0ubuntu3.1. 3.1 is not from jammy/main. 

I'm a Debian user myself. I haven't played with Ubuntu for well over 10 yrs. I don't remember how their repos are set up. Debian has basically main, contrib, non-free and some security and data updates. I can't remember what all the multiverse universe restricted etc, means.

If this were a Debian system, I'd suspect you were using a backport (though that should be visible in the version number) or something you installed yourself, or from a non Debian repo.

Do you know where you got that 3.1 libc6 from?
