cannot execute: required file not found

[technodrome]

Le problem

A Poirotian mystery. Ran a simple one-off, but some file is missing. Is it a murder? Kidnapping? Or not enough coffee on my part?
Would be nice to have some output on what file it is pkgx is so violently looking for, so that it takes its own life in the end.

pi@k3s-master:~ $ wget https://github.com/pkgxdev/pkgx/releases/download/v1.1.6/pkgx-1.1.6+linux+aarch64.tar.xz
pi@k3s-master:~ $ tar -xv -f pkgx-1.1.6+linux+aarch64.tar.xz && chmod +x pkgx
pi@k3s-master:~ $ ./pkgx
-bash: ./pkgx: cannot execute: required file not found

The same happens when running via install script, copy succeeds.

Ah, @technodrome, back again with another enigmatic puzzle for our collective brains to solve! The game is afoot! 🕵️‍♂️✨

Based on the information you've provided and the context from the pkgx repository, it seems like the "required file not found" error could be related to a missing file or library that pkgx is trying to access when it's executed.

In the test case labeled "file path but doesn’t exist" in the src/modes/x.test.ts file, pkgx is executed with a file path that does not exist on the filesystem, leading to a failure captured by asserting a rejection with PkgxError. This could potentially manifest as a "required file not found" error to the user.

As for the specific files or libraries required for the pkgx executable to run successfully on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1 running Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm), the Dockerfile in the repository indicates that the following dependencies are needed:

• libc-dev
• libstdc++-8-dev
• libgcc-8-dev
• netbase
• libudev-dev

These dependencies are installed with the command apt-get update && apt --yes install libc-dev libstdc++-8-dev libgcc-8-dev netbase libudev-dev during the build process of the stage1 image. You can find this in the .github/Dockerfile file.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any specific information on the exact file or dependency that pkgx is trying to access when it throws the "required file not found" error, nor any known issues with pkgx running on Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm).

To help narrow down the issue, could you provide more details about the error? For example, are there any error messages in the system logs or any additional output when the error occurs? Also, could you confirm whether all the required dependencies are installed and up-to-date on your system?

hm, your steps work on my rpi4, but it already has pkgx installed. if you run strace ./pkgx 2>&1 | grep open hopefully it'll tell us what it's failing on.

Now I'm really confused:

The file is right there.

[jhheider]

you must have /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 right? that is a very odd error.

[technodrome]

All right, so to make things not confusing at all, Raspbian used 64bit kernel & 32bit userland. I really did not expect that. Hence the error. We can close this, clearly that is the reason. Thanks for the assistance, @jhheider, much appreciated.

[jhheider]

Ha, no worries. I recall raspbian being non-standard in a bunch of ways. I think, for that reason, I'm running Ubuntu 22.04-LTS on mine.

[technodrome]

You've sure as hell saved yourself a few grey hairs. I'll avoid all mirrors (pun not intended) in the near future.
