Hi Slartibartfast, this time it is more tricky unfortunately. With Stretch the libc6:armhf library was the original Debian library and only the libgcc1:armhf library was a specific Raspbian version (+rpi1). Since we didn't need the libgcc1:i386 library we could install libc6:i386 with the option to ignore the dependency of libgcc1:i386 as we didn't need it thus also no version conflict with the already installed libgcc1:armhf With Buster it seems more complicated: also the libc6:armhf library is specifically compiled for the Raspberry. Unfortunately in a multiarchitecture system all libraries must have exactly the same version (I am not aware how to circumvent this). Uninstalling the libc6:armhf library for Raspberry and replacing it with the Debian version seems not to be feasible (See Erwin's post, and pinning all dependent packages to not remove them is also not practical due to the number of packages and leaving back a very static system...) Also since Libc6:arm is so central for the raspberry and it links and dependencies should not be broken, I think we should not mess around with it. One other strategy (I never did this so far) could be to modify the downloaded libgcc1.deb package for the i386 architecture before installing it: Changing the version information that it will match the same version like the equivalent raspbian package (...+rpi1) and then installing this package the old Stretch way looks currently most successful for me.... As we have no link to the Debian repository there shouldn't be side effects in terms of dependencies. Only if the Armhf library will be updated, we might need to update this package the same way again (inclusive modification...). I have never done this, so far only a theoretical approach... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ frankd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106958 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
