Yes

Void 5.18.19_1 x86_64-musl GenuineIntel uptodate rFFF

Package(s) Affected

sof-tools-1.8_1

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
  1. Be on musl system
  2. 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.
