libc6:amd64 current status 'half-install' POP-os

I am running POP-os on my pc. Yesterday I ran sudo apt upgrade but got the following error

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.32)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution)

so I ran sudo apt --fix-broken install and got

 package libc6:amd64 is not ready for configuration
 cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libc6:amd64
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

so tried sudo apt install libc6:amd64 and got the libc-bin error as before so tried sudo apt install libc-bin and got the following

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.32)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I feel like I'm going round in circles

im new in stackoverflow, but i want to add to the responses that they are successfull and corrects answers, and they did work for me, in mi case i tried with this one:

$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.33*

but before i replace this part "libc6_2.33*" for this one "libc6_2.31-0ubuntu9.9_amd64.deb", so finally y put in terminal::

 $ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.31-0ubuntu9.9_amd64.deb

and that work for me, because i search in the folder that directory and find that lib file, hope work for you! good luck

$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.33*
$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.33-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb 
$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-dev-bin_2.33-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb 
$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

might have worked as it worked for me.
