> 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. 

Sorry, that was sloppy terminology. You don't have 2 candidate versions for lib6, but 2 available version in the libcy version table.
