[CrabbyPete]

I am try install the meshtasticd on my Raspberry Pi Zero and I keep getting the following message

sudo apt install ./meshtasticd_2.2.18.e9bde80_arm64.deb

I am using the latest bookwork version of RaspianOS

Depends: libyaml-cpp0.7:arm64

Is this an arm32 system? That would be my guess. I'm hoping to get arm32 building as part of CI before too much longer, but not there yet. For now, if this is a Pi zero 2, you can install the 64 bit Bookworm. For an original Pi zero, it takes a 32 bit compile.

I use the Raspi 3 B+ with this operating system :

Static hostname: raspberrypi
Icon name: computer
Machine ID: 162b36b6acf044df8689f65959406588
Boot ID: b5addceb509842abb53aab72d0700b96
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel: Linux 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v8
Architecture: arm64

No problems on installing MeshtasticD, and using my DIY Lora Hat.

I am having the same issue as CrabbyPete, I believe is am using a 64 bit hardware and OS.

You running unsupported OS, switch to Debian 12 Bookworm 64bit for Raspberry Pi

Your suggestion worked, thank you.
