Adventurers: Dear developer thank you for not forgetting Linux users. Sadly the currently provided 32bit as well as 64bit binaries in version 1.8.2 both require GLIBC_2.33 which is too new for the current stable Debian 11 which has only 2.31 available. Please consider providing a version built against an older GLIBC.
binogure: Hey,
Indeed, it requires GLIBC_2.33, it is quite new, released back in february 2021.
Regarding getting on Debian 11, you can add the testing repository mirror in order to get them.
This is the official package tracker for debian and glibc specifically:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/glibc You need to add it to the sources.list for your computer as following:
sudo echo "" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo echo "deb
http://ftp.debian.org/debian// testing main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo echo "" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo echo "deb-src
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6
I also suggest you to lower the priority of the testing mirror (
https://wiki.debian.org/AptConfiguration ).
I think the libc6 2.33 (glibc 2.33) should be available in the coming months for debian stable.
Cheers
Many thanks for the detailed answer. I will consider it but normally I am a little bit hesitant to update basic system libraries because of dependency hell and in favor of a stable system. ;-)
Maybe I will try schroot.
