**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jun 26 02:59:58 2015 Jun 26 14:32:36 hello, I'm attempting to install a package that requires libffi5 as a dependency. Jun 26 14:33:01 I've installed libffi-dev from the repos, but it doesn't seem to help the matter Jun 26 14:33:37 I'm currently running Trusty on a BeagleBone Black Jun 26 14:33:46 why -dev ? Jun 26 14:33:59 that has the headers for building stuff ... not the runtime libs Jun 26 14:34:19 (though it should have pulled the runtilme into your system) Jun 26 14:39:02 libffi6 should do it, correct? Jun 26 14:39:53 depends what your app was linked against i guess Jun 26 14:39:56 I wasn't sure whether libffi5 and libffi6 were incompatible, in much the same way as python2 and python3 are Jun 26 14:40:15 heh, libffi6 is apparently the latest version :/ Jun 26 14:47:00 any idea as to what I should install, then? libffi6 isn't working. Jun 26 18:00:11 codingman: Where did you find an armhf package that depends on libffi5? Jun 26 23:26:17 hi Jun 26 23:34:00 is there hope for my 7'' mini-netbook Jaytech 9903 (aka NB-7 aka meteor PX-8690 ... ) , which is obviously quite bricked now ?
