This is with 64-bit userland? ```sh dpkg --print-architecture ``` We install that library on 32-bit ARM systems automatically, but so far it was not required, or maybe pre-installed, on 64-bit systems 馃. ---

I can replicate it on RPi5, so yes now required on 64bit as well ---

Also required for x86\_64 now, or it was just a dependency : [DietPi-Software test 路 MichaIng/DietPi@9c5687d 路 GitHub](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/actions/runs/18726410288) Funnily, on ARMv6 since Bookworm, it is not actually required anymore, since libssl3 depends on it anyway. I鈥檒l fix this for next release. ---

I just installed Dietpi Bullseye on RPI Zero 2W. After Joulinar鈥檚 solution (apt install libatomic1) Node-red works fine. I wonder how long these libraries (node-red-node-pi-gpio) will be supported? How do I support my RPI? How do I install Bookworm or Trixie since they don鈥檛 support this whole thing. I have systems that are at least three years old, how do I support them? ---
