Just tested by myself. the instructions for Buster (replacing step 2-4 of the original tutorial on the first page) are: ------------------- Check the current libc6 version of the Raspberry: dpkg -s libc6:armhf Find the equivalent version of the i386 libc Debian package from https://packages.debian.org/buster/i386/libc6 (currently libc6_2.28-10_i386.deb) Adapt the lines below with your version: wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.28-10_i386.deb mkdir -p newpack oldpack/DEBIAN dpkg-deb -x libc6_2.28-10_i386.deb oldpack/ dpkg-deb -e libc6_2.28-10_i386.deb oldpack/DEBIAN nano oldpack/DEBIAN/control Set the version to the Rasbian version (add +rpi1) and remove the dependency of libgcc1 and save the file dpkg-deb -Z xz -b oldpack/ newpack/ rm oldpack/usr/share/doc/libc6/changelog.Debian.gz nano oldpack/DEBIAN/md5sums Remove the line with the MD5 Sums for changelog.Debian.gz The new package is now in the subfolder newpack, with the name of the new version (e.g. libc6_2.28-10+rpi1_i386.deb) Install the new package: sudo dpkg -i newpack/libc6_2.28-10+rpi1_i386.deb ------------------------- If you update the libraries with sudo apt dist-upgrade and a new version of libc6 will have been published in the meantime, the upgrade will fail due to version mismatches. In this case remove the libc6:i386 version (sudo apt-get purge libc6:i386) run the distribution upgrade and follow the steps of re-packaging and installing the new libc6:i386 Would be great to get confirmation that this approach works for somebody else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
