[Bug]: Missing dependencies on Debian 12

[quonic]

User story

Attempted to install an ECO server on a Debian 12 VM, but the supplied command to install dependencies failed.

Game

ECO

Linux distro

Debian 12

Command

command: install

Further information

Running this worked for me.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update; sudo apt install curl wget file tar bzip2 gzip unzip bsdmainutils python3 util-linux ca-certificates binutils bc jq tmux netcat-openbsd 
lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 libgdiplus distro-info libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 uuid-runtime

Suggested changes:

Adding a Debian => 12 section with netcat replaced with netcat-openbsd and distro-info libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 uuid-runtime added to apt install

Replacing the Debian => 11 section with Debian = 11

I can confirm this.

Using @quonic's instructions it worked for me. Thank you mate.

this has since be updated to use netcat-openbsd. The website still however needs updating

[dgibbs64]

I have updated the website to remove the dependency instructions and rely on LinuxGSM itself to do the work. It's very difficult for me to keep everything updated on the website
