Hallo Jan, this kernel module has not existed in a very long time:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/removed/raw1394

That file suggests the libraw1394 library may be able to help. Try:

apt-cache search libraw1394
sudo apt install libraw1394-11 # or whatever version number was returned

You might also need to install libraw1394-dev and rebuild your
application.

Good luck.

Thanks

Would this hypothetical package be strictly upstream OpenSSL, or would we
make it match our Opinionated View on OpenSSL? (Or, another way: Would it
support ancient protocols like SSLv2 so that scanner tools could use it?)

Or, another another way: What problem is this going to solve?

Thanks

Re: Proposal: Let's drop i386

I believe deleting i386 and armhf before 18.10 is the politest thing to do:

- supporting these architectures in 2025 doesn't sound plausible
- thus supporting them in 20.04 LTS doesn't sound plausible
- thus we should not encourage our users to accidentally migrate off
  18.04 LTS to 18.10, 19.04, or 19.10.

*Maybe* if we modify do-release-ugprade to ask users to confirm typing
"I know what I'm doing" it wouldn't be so bad to support both arches
through 19.10.

But 20.04 LTS ought not include these architectures and I don't want to
strand anyone away from an LTS release.

Thanks

Thanks for raising this again; it'd be nice to have a plan in place before
we wind up in a difficult situation.

Note that at some point, we may need to stop supporting specific packages
on 32 bit systems. Some of our larger packages require modifications to
compile and link on 32 bit platforms and we're probably going to see one
or more of Firefox, Thunderbird, Chromium browser, Libreoffice, etc., no
longer buildable on small-memory platforms.

We may need to abandon upstream packages along the way. (And some of these
huge packages are not practical for us to backport security fixes.) (See
also, precise's chromium-browser.)

I'm afraid this proposal may strand some current i386 users on a release
with no lifetime to it.

16.04's 32 bit support has a five-year lifespan. We may not be able to
support the whole thing for the full five years but it should mostly work.

But if we release 16.10, 17.04, 17.10 i386, we're basically encouraging
users to install them and upgrade them and then find out in mid-2018 that
they've reached the end of their OS life and no way back to the safety of
16.04 LTS.

I propose that 16.04 LTS should be the last release with i386 support.
That way we don't leave anyone with a choice of (a) keep running
known-insecure 17.10 in 2018 or (b) figure out how to do a downgrade
back to 16.04 LTS.

I'm not sure how we acheive this specific goal but I think we shouldn't
encourage i386 (or armhf?) users off of 16.04 LTS.

Thanks
