libc6 2.29+

Hi folks,

It appears libc6 for Bunsen Labs is stuck at 2.28. I have an application that requires 2.29+. Is there a way to upgrade libc6 without breaking my system?

Best,

Matt

I don't see any way that you are NOT destroying your system.
Consider [beryllium], there you have the version libc6 2.31

^ Absolutely. Upgrading libc6 is part of the no-no list for Don't Break Debian (BL Version)...

  A WARNING
  ---------
 
  While FOSS is primarily about freedom and choice, certain choices are
  known to carry an increased risk of breaking things in BunsenLabs.
 
  Two of the riskier things are:
   * adding Ubuntu PPAs or unknown/untrusted repos to your
     /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d
   * installing a package that wants a newer version of libc6
 
  More information on some of the riskier things, the above included,
  can be found here:
  https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
 
  (Right click the above link and choose "Open Link" to visit the page.)
 
  Please type "I understand" to continue with this script.
  (You will not be asked to do this again.)
 
 
 
    Enter "I understand" to continue. (Q to quit)

Switch to siduction/sid if you want the newest Debian packages, or Bullseye or BunsenLabs Berylliumn or MX Linux if you want the latest stable packages...

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Re: libc6 2.29+

If you try to upgrade libc6 from say testing you WILL pull in a whole bunch of dependencies that  will BREAK your system and turn it into a FrankenDebian that will give you nothing but headaches.

Try updating to Beryllium (the instructions are out there!) and you'll have a version that's compatible for the app you are trying to install.
