The good thing is that the new kernel boots and X11 comes up.The bad news is lots of applications crash and they all have one thing in common, libffi.So e.g. a build of ArcticFox fails: multix@PPC970FX:~/code/Arctic-Fox$ ./mach build/usr/bin/which: this version of `which' is deprecated; use `command -v' in scripts instead.Illegal instructionDid you verify that downgrading the libffi package fixes the problem?
N, I didn't verify that yet because I have currenlty both libffi7 and libff8 package installed. Removing libffi 8 would break a couple of important packages /libp11, libpython2.7 and 3.9 - unsurprisingly - and also libwayland).
GNUstep is not listed because I all have it compiled from source as a developer.
Is there a good way to "downgrade" with aptitude or apt-get that would also downgrade all relativive dependencies? I guess a tree comes up. I did not clean my local apt cache, so I guess I have most old version still local.
That's a bit a similar issue with building libffi locally. In /usr/local I am unsure it would be picked up. I can of course still do it and perhaps have GNUstep pick it up and do some tests there.
In the meanwhile, I'm setting up to configure and build libffi locally. Riccardo -- Sent with GNUMail from GNUstep on a Raspberry PI 4.
