Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding something here.
I would expect that installing packages on a musl system would not require glibc.
Actual behaviour
sudo xbps-install sof-tools
MISSING: glibc>=2.32_1
Transaction aborted due to unresolved dependencies.
Steps to reproduce
- Be on
muslsystem - Run
xbps-install sof-tools

Research direction
Start with the sof-tools package metadata and reproduce the failure using xbps-install sof-tools on a musl system. Trace why glibc>=2.32_1 is required and adjust the package dependencies so installation succeeds without glibc; verify the transaction completes on musl.
