Pre-compiled packages do not install on Debian 11

[hendursaga]

Pre-compiled packages cannot be installed on the latest Debian release ("Bullseye") and probably other Debian derivatives. For instance, after installing the .deb package and running voice2json, it complains with:

ImportError: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libffi6 is available for Buster, but not Bullseye, where it is instead libffi7.

Perhaps the Dockerfile can be updated and new pre-compiled packages released?

Hi @hendursaga
I've had the same problem, and could solve it with this thread from stackoverflow.

Hope it's useful for you.

@clarriu97, sadly that's a somewhat risky workaround, it would be good for at least the next release to use Debian 11. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the Docker build scripts to work on my system, so I can't do that for myself just yet.

I'm having the same problem. It would be great to upgrade the dependencies accordingly, I can't try voice2json for that reason.

@raphaelyancey this worked in Ubuntu 2204: #66 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.7 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6
