When trying to install thinlinc-server_4.16.0-3491_amd64.deb, either manually or through ./install-server, the installation will fail with: > 2024-04-19 07:44:45,607: Version to install: 4.16.0-3491_amd64 > 2024-04-19 07:44:45,607: Current version(s): > 2024-04-19 07:44:45,607: Packages to install: thinlinc-server_4.16.0-> 3491_amd64.deb > 2024-04-19 07:44:46,321: Installing package(s): thinlinc-server_4.16.0-3491_amd64.deb > 2024-04-19 07:44:46,423: Warning during installation of '/home/cendio/tl-4.16.0-server/packages/thinlinc-server_4.16.0-3491_amd64.deb': " unable to create '/lib32/libnss_passwdaliases.so.2.dpkg-new' (while processing './lib32/libnss_passwdaliases.so.2'): No such file or directory" > 2024-04-19 07:44:46,452: Installation of packages failed: > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: Selecting previously unselected package thinlinc-server. > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: (Reading database ... 83184 files and directories currently installed.) > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: Preparing to unpack .../thinlinc-server_4.16.0-3491_amd64.deb ... > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: Unpacking thinlinc-server (4.16.0-3491) ... > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: dpkg: error processing archive /home/cendio/tl-4.16.0-server/packages/thinlinc-server_4.16.0-3491_amd64.deb (--install): > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: unable to create '/lib32/libnss_passwdaliases.so.2.dpkg-new' (while processing './lib32/libnss_passwdaliases.so.2'): No such file or directory > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: Errors were encountered while processing: > 2024-04-19 07:42:48,399: /home/cendio/tl-4.16.0-server/packages/thinlinc-> server_4.16.0-3491_amd64.deb Manually creating /lib32 will work around this issue. The package installation and the following tl-setup worked fine.
Creating a symlink from /usr/lib to /lib32 before the installation will fix this on my installations. (Hint: Creating a freshly /lib32 directory will fail with the usrmerge error: ****************************************************************************** * * The base-files package cannot be installed because this system has a * split /usr. * Please install the usrmerge package to convert this system to merged-/usr. * For more information please read https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge. * ******************************************************************************) Symlinking the /lib32 is compatible with the recognition system of the base-files package.
Agree. Creating the symlink seems like a better approach to work around this.
Another Idea: Even better will be maybe to remove /lib32/libnss_passwdaliases.so.2 in the next release and on Ubuntu 24.04. Cause the 32bit release has been stopped (sind 18.04) and everything has been consolidated now in ubuntu 24.04 to merged a merge lib in /usr/lib (64 bit).
