@maartenlangeveld
Could you please paste the full output of: apt install build-essential make autoconf automake

(I will also do myself later.)

It is a damn thing: Due to the upgraded libssl1.1 (and libc6 I think), all packages that require a special version of all of them need to be upgraded as well, respectively their version from Buster needs to be installed. But we lowered the priority to 100 so that by default installs from Buster are blocked. We could raise that priority but then we could face systems quickly, which are fully upgraded to Buster, which of course is not desired.

So best/safest we can do is indeed to identify all affected packages and add -t buster to the related APT command.

@MichaIng

Will do that later tonight or tomorrow. For me this issue has no priority at all since I do not need the build-essentials at all, I just selected it by accident but since it failed I have reported it.

Thanks,

Maarten

@maartenlangeveld
Okay great, then I mark this issue as closed for now. As said feel free to reopen if you ever require build-essential. Most likely other users run into this as well, so most likely we will have a step-by-step solution ready until then.

@MichaIng hey, I was wondering if there was some change as apparently according to https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/wiki/DietPi-Software-list 16 is now a different package ?
Also, I can't find the build-essentials in the mentioned List anymore.

We removed the dedicated software option a while ago. If needed you simply can install Debian software package https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/build-essential
