So either the buildbots been down for a week or ?? And the first of my wheezy machines, the only other machine here that is running tde r14.0.x. just updated 62 packages including 3 from the linuxcnc buildbot, using the exact same "gksudo synaptic". By the time I had updated all 4 of them, the three wheezy installs got an updated master-rt from the linuxcnc buildbot, but this stretch(amd64), and the buster (armhf) rpi4b didn't get any updates offered except the 6 that are locked, preempt-rt stuff. Looks like the buildbot is having trouble with post-wheezy stuff. I should do a git pull and try it myself as I am setup to do that. But I'm not touching that until I find out whats killing the jog dials on the rpi4b. I had it partially apart yesterday, installing a new z motor's driver alarm output into its linuxcnc config, but the jog dials are now dead, so I've no way to run 1500 lbs of 75 yo Sheldon lathe by hand. But I need to go to the machine to do that, I can't troubleshoot that with an ssh login. Machine safety yadda yadda. So I'd better fix some breakfast and git to it.
