MemberHello.
use this repo for upgrade from AntiX 23.2
antix.list# Use with Debian Sid repositories. deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/antix-archive-keyring.gpg] http://repo.antixlinux.com/sid sid main nonfree nosystemd devall upgraded well but now apt not working
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.6.0)here similar topic
http://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/how-do-install-glibcxx_3-4-32-with-dpkg/#post-142524I want to ask i were more elegant fix for that issue instead replacing this 3 files from AntiX 23.2 iso to Sid?
Now do the work, step-by-step.
Zeroth:
++++++++
Open a terminal (if you are in a GUI). Become root user now.First:
++++++++
You may use any editor –instead of nano– you are comfortable with.Undo your usage of ´testing´, ´sid´ or ´multimedia´ repositiories.
Edit (with nano) all the files in the directory named below and comment
out the above mentioned repos (add # at beginning of each line):
Files (look in all of them):
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/any-file_name.list
and also: /etc/apt/sources.listSecond:
++++++++
Get the live-iso e.g. antix-base 21.3 for your architecture (e.g. x86_64)
where you installed your system from.
It looked like the netinstall version do not contain all the needed files,
so go for base version of Anti-X (or full….), but may be I am wrong.Third:
++++++++
Find the path of your /lib/x86_64… (may have a similiar name, if not
using antiX, see below). and note it (or use a -cli- file manager, mc ).Fourth:
++++++++
Mount the iso and the squashfs inside the iso in the antiX folder:
mkdir -p /tmp/iso-mount.tmp /tmp/sqfs-mount.tmp /tmp/temp-files
mount -o loop name-of-antix.iso /tmp/iso-mount.tmp
mount -o loop /tmp/iso-mount.tmp/antiX/linuxfs /tmp/sqfs-mount.tmpCopy the following files to a place where you can access them later.
Best do not to use the /tmp/ folder as used/shown in example below –as
/tmp may be on a tmpfs or zram drive– if you want to keep them:
cd /tmp/sqfs-mount.tmp/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
cp -av libvte-2.91* /tmp/temp-files/
cp -av libapt-pkg* /tmp/temp-files/
cp -av libvte.s* /tmp/temp-files/Unmount our squasfs and iso:
cd /
umount /tmp/sqfs-mount.tmp
umount /temp/sqfs/iso-mount.tmpThese filenames should come up in /tmp/temp-files/ :
libvte-2.91.so.0 # this is a link to the following file
libvte-2.91.so.0.7000.6libapt-pkg.so.6.0 # this is a link to the following file
libapt-pkg.so.6.0.0libvte.so.9 # this is a link to the following file
libvte.so.9.2800.2Now make a backup of the existent files of the destination folder:
mkdir -p /home/myusrname/save_lib-x86_64-linux-gnu/
cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
cp -av libvte-* /home/myusrname/save_lib-x86_64-linux-gnu/
cp -av libapt-pkg* /home/myusrname/save_lib-x86_64-linux-gnu/
cp -av libvte.s* /home/myusrname/save_lib-x86_64-linux-gnu/At last copy our extracted files:
cp -av /tmp/temp-files/* /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/Now try to run apt or synaptic; your very first command now should be:
apt update (or apt-get update or update in synaptic)
(to get rid of cached ´testing´ or ´sid´ or ´multimedia´ repo data).The error message should be gone.
It you want to protect the files from beeing updated then you could use:
chattr +i /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg*
chattr +i /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvte-*
chattr +i /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvte.s*There may be an error message when trying to change the symbolic links.
But note, any updates/upgrades will now produce error messages regarding
these files, if you don’t reset the attribue (chattr -i ….).Hope you have learned not to mess to much around with unstable/testing
repo´s [ as I have learned , too 😉 ].If you really have to, create a backup (Anti-X tools -> iso snapshot)
as a safety measure (keep your user data in the iso , too !).You may not be able start this live iso (big ´linuxfs´ file) , but it´s
the best measure you can take of your system (and roll back manually)
without wasting space. The folder access and copy commands have been
used above (except for copy, you may add -R for a whole system rollback,
but that should only be done when running from a standard live iso ).Note:
The mentioned libs were deducted from the error messages that came up,
when trying to run apt and synaptic (and occasionally, terminator).November 21, 2025 at 5:35 pm #190756
Brian MasinickModeratorre: “antix-base 21.3” I do not know if that was an unintentional typo, but at this stage, unless our current software doesn’t work, I’d either use antiX 23.2 or wait a bit longer for antiX 25. It’s been quite a while, and long enough ago that I’m not even sure that we had any “21” release; I know we’ve had 19, 22, 23, and some incremental updates to these releases. In any case, those releases are getting old; that’s why we’re creating a newer release.
I recommend two things: 1) Use a Full release, NOT a Base release; 2) Use antiX 23.2 Full or wait until the final antiX 25 Full is officially released.
If others choose to help you out with old stuff, that’s up to them; I’ll discuss our current releases only.

I understand about antiX 23.2 Full release.
But if i continue use this Sid and workaround trick with replacing 3 files, is it safe using, how it will going forward?November 21, 2025 at 6:15 pm #190759deepforest

xinomiloMemberdon’t upgrade those packages. just use
apt upgradeand upgrade what’s available. don’t use reinstall.
and btw, antiX sid is mostly broken untill antiX25 is out. better stop experimenting, unless you want to play+break everything..

MemberAgree with xinomilo,
sid is a rough ride presently.
Big changes are ongoing in antiX, during the last weeks there was a lot going on
at mothership Debian during preparation for the recent updated point release.
Notable that came so fast, up to now present debian Stable has not been the epitome
of reliability.Special thanks to ubuntu, gnome and systemd evangelist devs for that.

Thanks.
I am nothing did not do after upgrade to sid,
just copt that 3 libs,
but in tact apt still not work,
i do not see error now, but i can’t install/upgrade anything, apt showing that can install/upgrade something but does not do that, no install process.Nevermind i am just testing Antix here,
no problem to do reinstall os again,
I am just curious to find fix of broken apt in this situation.- This reply was modified 10 months, 1 week ago by deepforest.

MemberBit late to the party, yet again, you could try reinstalling apt using dpkg,
that may give an indication of what is broken.
first please usesudo dpkg --configure -aI have needed to use the low level package manager a few times recently 🙂
You can also check apt depends on
https://packages.debian.org/sid/aptIf you need to install a downloaded package or packages while apt is broken
sudo dpkg -i <package_name.deb>is your friend.Pls do not get frustrated and do install antiX full in future to avoid weird issues.
It is much easier to slim down the distro than to build on the base version.November 27, 2025 at 12:53 pm #191046stevesr0
MemberHi deepforest,
Several points in this thread:
(1) Problems with update and upgrade tools (apt based) are common
(2) A fresh install is usually easy and the fastest, easiest solution.
(3) The full stable install is the least problematic install.
(4) For people who choose to upgrade from one version to another (21 full to 23 full or 23 full to Sid, for example), the change in repos may lead to conflicts requiring untangling.
(5) I started a thread (on this forum) about problems with upgrades and several people offered useful things that may fix things.
(6) Especially with Sid, upgrades may change versions from antiX nosystemd versions to systemd versions. It is important for Siddites to check this BEFORE upgrading if they wish to stay systemd free.

MemberThanks @Xunzi_23 @stevesr0 for advice and explain!
But after next boot of antiX i seen this.
I did fresh reinstall antiX Full and again did same upgrade to antiX Sid, and situation repeated again, same error at next bootBit late to the party, yet again, you could try reinstalling apt using dpkg,

i use this antiX sid repo,
# Use with Debian Sid repositories. deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/antix-archive-keyring.gpg] http://repo.antixlinux.com/sid sid main nonfree nosystemd devisn`t it not antiX systemd free own repo?

MemberHi deepforest,
antiX systemd free own repo?, yes that is correct, where systemd components can come
in is when the Debian versions are higher, that is have a higher version number and a
sysd free version is not yet available.Basicly in such cases you have two choices, wait or go with the flow and install updates
anyway. I do the latter, once sysd free packages are available they will come with a higher
version and result in replacement of any sysd version. That is simply a choice you have to
make to suite your needs or philosophy.,As long as major systemd components such as the so called init do not come in to your system
no need to worry and you have latest (hopefully) bug fixed packages quickly.You may also get packages which bring in new bugs, that is what sid is about, you might describe
it as early testing of newest packages :-).Once you have a working install please do ensure you have a working backup, do keep that reasonably
up to date, you may never need it but if you do it is a big time saver.November 28, 2025 at 7:13 am #191155
Brian MasinickModeratorOnce you have a working install please do ensure you have a working backup, do keep that reasonably
up to date, you may never need it but if you do it is a big time saver.This is a wise thing to do reasonably often for ANY system. It is essential for a Sid-based system; the very next update is capable of breaking everything unless you get really good at figuring out what can go wrong. I follow my own advice. I have lots of backups for any systems I care about.
Besides, ISO snapshot images, which are a legitimate way to back up a system, can be used to run from directly as a live system too.

Member<p d__=””>Hi deepforest,
<p d__=””>antiX systemd free own repo?, yes that is correct, where systemd components can come
in is when the Debian versions are higher, that is have a higher version number and a
sysd free version is not yet available.<p d__=””>Basicly in such cases you have two choices, wait or go with the flow and install updates
anyway. I do the latter, once sysd free packages are available they will come with a higher
version and result in replacement of any sysd version. That is simply a choice you have to
make to suite your needs or philosophy.,<p d__=””>As long as major systemd components such as the so called init do not come in to your system
no need to worry and you have latest (hopefully) bug fixed packages quickly.<p d__=””>You may also get packages which bring in new bugs, that is what sid is about, you might describe
it as early testing of newest packages :-).<p d__=””>Once you have a working install please do ensure you have a working backup, do keep that reasonably
up to date, you may never need it but if you do it is a big time saver.Thanks, but why at all antix sid repos available for everyone if it so unstable and so big risk to broke os?
