zypper dup

did not help. Any idea please ?

First thing I see is that you are using zypper up, where you need zypper dup until official release.
Second thing I am wondering about is whether you refreshed the repos.
Third would be the question whether you still have packages in the cache.

But that said, I don’t see enough information to say anything decent about this.

I tried zypper dup lately but it did not help.

I refreshed the repos.

/var/cache/zypp has 2.7 GB

Then start with sudo zypper clean. This could very well be a corrupted download.
After that, repeat the sudo zypper dup.

Yes, I confirm. Open bug report.

Workaround would be removing glibc-32bit (with all dependent 32 bit packages). It may be possible to remove (and lock) the glibc-gconv-modules-extra-32bit only to avoid RPM error, but it will not fix the incorrect binary.

It did not help.

Is not already reported ?

I replied Ignore and upgrade finished and there is no error message anymore.
