Hi,
the issue is a bit specific but I’m suspecting there is a more general problem.
I’m experimenting with replit that offers nix.
At some point, in my Python code I’m calling pdflatex:
Compile the LaTeX file to PDF
subprocess.run([“pdflatex”, tex_file], shell=True)
But I got the following error message:
/home/runner/.nix-profile/bin/pdflatex: /nix/store/9bh3986bpragfjmr32gay8p95k91q4gy-glibc-2.33-47/lib/libc.so.6: version

What is strange is that pdflatex works like a charm, in the console!
So it’s really the interplay between Python system calls (via subprocess) and pdflatex that leads to this issue.
For the record here is the environment:

I’m suspecting nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-small is not correctly packaged with glibc
