That said, there does seem to be some evidence of a libffi5. Here is the output: ------ console output ------- # apt-get install libffi5 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libffi5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'libffi5' has no installation candidate # apt-cache show libffi5 N: Can't select versions from package 'libffi5' as it is purely virtual N: No packages found ------ console output ------- My other computer (unstable), which I configured the same way as my laptop, has libffi5-3.0.10-3 is installed but it's possible I was able to install it some time ago.
