Beta testing • Re: Updating to trixie

It was reported that Mathematica is now there:

What is the current status of Mathematica?

Should be there now.

However that's not what I see. On a fresh install on a raspberry pi 2:
[...]
Anyone else manage to install Mathematica from the repository?

I just tested this on a 32-bit install. I get the same errors. It looks like this package is only for 64-bit systems. Why my 32-bit install is showing it is confusing.

I made a change to my apt sources to limit archive.raspberrypi.com to 32-bit only and the package no longer shows as available. I changed it from "deb http://..." to "deb [arch=armhf] http://..." (which I think is in the proper releases).

"dpkg --print-foreign-architectures" shows arm64, which I'm sure it shouldn't do on a 32-bit install. The only way to run 64-bit code is with an emulator, like qemu.

This install was an upgrade from an early bookworm image, so may not be optimal.
