Thank you Luca, I've been trying to get this working for some time now but was failing due to CMakefile issue I even reported the same to upstream but with little help. Since I was not very well versed in CMake I gave up. I will review this and merge it soon. Cheers, Vasudev
Bug#979016: libbpfcc: vendors libbpf
Package: libbpfcc Version: 0.8.0-4 Severity: important Tags: bullseye patch Dear Maintainer(s), libbpfcc vendors and statically links against libbpf, which is now available in the Debian archive as a fully maintained shared library. This is a problem in the upstream CMake files, I've sent a PR to fix it: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/3210 I have also prepared a backport and tested it, and opened a MR on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bpfcc/-/merge_requests/9 This allows to unvendor the library, and only link against it dynamically from the packaged version. Please consider applying it before the bullseye freeze. Thank you! Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
