Current behavior 😯

Installation of the .deb file fails due to a dependency issue. Debian 12 does not currently have required version of libc

dpkg -i onefetch_2.22.0_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package onefetch.
(Reading database ... 42987 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack onefetch_2.22.0_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking onefetch (2.22.0) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of onefetch:
 onefetch depends on libc6 (>= 2.39); however:
  Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.36-9+deb12u8.

dpkg: error processing package onefetch (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for man-db (2.11.2-2) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 onefetch

Expected behavior 🤔

Onefetch should operate on the current version of libc

Could you try installing via cargo install onefetch and let us know if that worked?

sure. it'll be a few days. I'm trying to avoid cargo, as I'm playing around with ansible, and trying to make my installs as lightweight as possible *Larry G. Wapnitsky* *E: ***@***.**** *Web: Larry.Wapnitsky.com <http://larry.wapnitsky.com/>*

Thanks! I actually have a PR up to use Bookworm (Debian 12) in a devcontainer: #1461 (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not too familiar with the Debian release strategy). You could try starting up a GitHub Codespace to see if you can compile from source on Debian 12. I'm not sure which version of libc the container would have, but it's a good start to at least confirm that onefetch can be built on Debian 12. You might also try to install the .deb package in that container. That way you don't clutter up your main environment, and we can investigate the differences between that container and your install if it works in one but not the other.
