Re: [Factor-talk] Running under Debian Trixie (stable)

[Jon H. <jon...@gm...>]

I think Martin just tried to use build.sh deps-apt and it doesn't work
on the latest Debian...? It does sound like a real problem.
https://github.com/factor/factor/blob/b06f7f0b25d7b8f7cc568379619fe673354dc271/build.sh#L776

(Incidentally, it feels to me like the previous response could have
been written by an llm ? Not intending to be dismissing but the
response didn't seem very appropriate)

Sorry I'm not bringing much to the table either, I just wanted to say
that Martin's question looks legitimate, maybe someone else using
Trixie can provide some more help ?
