Description

Trying to install meshtasticd_2.5.7.f77c87d_amd64.deb package on Ubuntu 24.04.1 fails withe the following message:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  liborcania2.3{a} libulfius2.7t64{a} libyder2.0t64{a} meshtasticd{b} 
0 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 45,1 MB of archives. After unpacking 71,7 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 meshtasticd : Depends: libyaml-cpp0.7 which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

On what OS the package should be installed? Are there any building instructions for Debian-based systems?

Relevant log output

No response

Maybe this issue is related to #4329 ?

[caveman99]

the files are not compatible with ubuntu 24 these dependencies require ubuntu 22

[caveman99]

you can always compile yourself, it#s really not difficult.

OK, but how? "Building Instructions" concern the firmware only, and in the src/ folder there are cpp and h files, but no Makefile, no cmakefile,... :-(

I also meet the same problem on my uconsole device based on rpi cm4.
I try to install the yaml-cpp0.7 from github source code and it dosen't work.
