I have the following libc6 dependency problem in Debian 9.12 stretch.
sudo apt install libc6-dev

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.24-11+deb9u4) but 2.27-6 is to be installed Depends: libc-dev-bin (= 2.24-11+deb9u4) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. How can I fix it?
