libc incompatibility causing debian run failures

[jb55]

Not sure if this is helpful but the reason it isn't installing in any of the debian based is the libc6 dependency(requires 2.39, these are both on 2.35). Looks like popos alpha apparently includes the updated library. Had the same issue on just a barebone debian system as well.

The fix for this should be pretty simple, we just need to choose an older github action runner instead of latest:

By default, GitHub Actions uses the latest Ubuntu runner (e.g., ubuntu-latest), which has glibc 2.39+. Instead, you can explicitly use ubuntu-20.04, which has glibc 2.31.

Modify your .github/workflows/build.yml file:

name: Build Rust Binary

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:

  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04  # Use an older runner with glibc 2.31

Fixes #701

llm suggestion:

TL;DR - Best Approach for Fixing This

1. Ensure Cargo.lock is committed locally and not modified in CI.

2. Use Cargo caching properly (Swatinem/rust-cache@v2).

3. Explicitly fetch dependencies (cargo fetch) before building.

4. Manually clear cargo cache (cargo clean) if necessary.
