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