Strange. You are right, but the unusual thing here is that it is still building the packages regularly. https://github.com/Pi-Apps-Coders/box64-debs/commits/master/

Asking @theofficialgman to look into this

[theofficialgman]

looking into it. the problem stems from this line https://github.com/Pi-Apps-Coders/box64-debs/blob/3767e264d835cc6e81dfb6a902663ec9b24a1238/create-deb.sh#L63 suddenly not functioning. so either a box64 change in the version output or qemu failures. will have to build box64 locally to see if the output has changed

[theofficialgman]

indeed the issue is likely caused by this commit ptitSeb/box64@cd8bda7 where box64 can no longer be run with qemu

qemu-aarch64-static ./box64 -v
Dynarec for ARM64, with extension: ASIMD AES CRC32 PMULL SHA1 SHA2 PageSize:4096 Running on unknown aarch64 cpu with 4 Cores
qemu: uncaught target signal 4 (Illegal instruction) - core dumped
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I'll change that function to instead parse this file src/box64version.h
