Can you check that you're not doing the opposite? My machine: $ uname -a Linux axis 5.10.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.162-1 (2023-01-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux $ ↑↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑↑ Apropos the version that you're installing, 2.23.6. That's the last version of LP that comes as an insaller. More recent versions come as an archive which you just unpack somewhere. Does this change have anything to do with why you're running this old and otherwise unnotable version? Cheers, David.
