This would explain everything.

No. Stuff like that is above my pay grade.

I've noticed that Excalibur updates sometime remove packages, then install newer versions of the same package. I'm not sure why it does that, rather than just updating the package, but I'm sure there's a good reason.

The libc6 package is marked with priority "required," and contains the GNU version of the standard C library, along with some other core support libraries. I don't think it's even possible to install a usable system without it. The other three libraries are part of the LLVM toolchain, though. I've had to install them to compile C++ projects. Did you install clang at some point? If you never selected them manually, they might have been included with a meta-package.

Well, I do have libc6 installed.

@ron:
Sorry.

There are now so many versions of Devuan, and so many types of systems that it can be run on, that a poster needs to give some clues to help those that may wish to assist. Here is a simple way to accomplish that:

@ron, it seems those 3 packages have hard dependencies on libc6? Im not sure why they wouldnt be installed, seems a bit odd.

Well if I knew that something else was needed to answer the question I would have put it in. Now I'm not psychic either. What should I add?

Thank god that we are all psychic & can therefore define your setup precisely.

Question on today's update

dummy@example.com (Ron) — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 21:01:22 +0000

There was an update today so I installed it as usual. Going into the history, I see three new things listed as installed, not upgraded. They are libc++1-16, libc++abi1-16, libunwind-16. Does anyone know why these were installed when they (apparently) weren't before? And nothing else was installed/upgraded, so that rules out dependencies.
