Hi! (Applications linked against) libbpfcc will dynamically compile and load C source code into eBPF byte code at runtime and load the result into the kernel for various purposes (e.g. socket filtering, tracing, etc.). For this to work, it needs the kernel headers of the *currently running kernel* [0,1]. Therefore, the maintainer of libbpfcc in Debian added a corresponding dependency [2] which unfortunately breaks everything but amd64 [3] and does also not quite fix the original bug [4]. Please comment on bug #877925 [4] and/or #878922 [3] regarding on how to solve the "this package needs the current kernel's headers installed" problem!
