Creating a bug report/issue

I am trying to install libmraa on a rock pi s running 9.0.2 version of Diet-Pi.
I get the error message “unable to locate package libmraa”.
Please advise how to resolve this. Thank you!

It can not find this package because there is no one with this name in the debian repo.
Also Rock Pi S is officially not supported, but you can anyway try and build it yourself:
https://github.com/eclipse/mraa

Ah I see, Radxa have their own repo for this:
https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiS/dev/libmraa

Thank you! But, the instructions are for buster and bionic. would that work for the bookworm based Diet-Pi?

They have also a bookworm-stable repo:

Looks like you added also some ubuntu repos. you would need to remove them, DietPi is based on Debian, not Ubuntu.

Thank you for catching my mistake!
I have removed the ubuntu file listed in /etc/apt/sources.d directory.

Yes, there is no Ubuntu Bookworm. Bookworm is a Debian version, while Ubuntu has different naming Ubuntu version history - Wikipedia

Anyway, don’t use Ubuntu packages sources on Debian.

yeah, understood. In my anxiety to fix the problem, I missed it.
