This problem is completely unrelated to foomatic-db.
The issue is in printconf, around line 97, where there is this code:
95 printdb = foomatic.foomatic.get_printer_db()
96 if not printdb:
97 print_fill('Unable to read printer database. Please ensure the
"foomatic-db" package is installed properly.')
98 sys.exit(1)
The glibc error causes some problem with foomatic.foomatic.get_printer_db,
so printdb can't be created even if foomatic-db is installed.
The glibc issue isn't due to printconf itself; probably it is something
foomatic-related.
Cheers, Luca
