Siduction is based on Debian Sid. Therefore, for Trinity should be apt line as follows: deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb sid deps-r14 main-r14 Current version of binutils in Sid is 2.27.90.20161231-1. For this binutils version is in deps-r14 corresponding libr0 version 4:0.6.0-3debian9.0.0+4~b7. Please verify (for example, by aptitude), whether you have available just these versions. -- Slávek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
