sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade run without errors.
sudo apt install sigrok-cli runs with No error messages and installs sigrok-cli into /usr/bin.

But on running sigrok-cli it immediately aborts with an error message

sigrok-cli: error while loading shared libraries: libnettle.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ldd /usr/bin/sigrok-cli returns nothing

The sigrok-cli is installed in /usr/bin

strings /usr/bin/sigrok-cli|grep nettle reports nothing

There is no libnettle.so.7 according to dpkg -S libnettle.so.7 dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern libnettle.so.7

My system does have libnettle8 dpkg -S libnettle.so.8 libnettle8:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.8.4 libnettle8:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.8

if I search the entire root fs I find the following references to libnettle.so.7*

/snap/core20/1828/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.7 /snap/core20/1828/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.7.0 /snap/core20/1828/usr/share/doc/libnettle7 /snap/core20/1852/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.7 /snap/core20/1852/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.7.0 /snap/core20/1852/usr/share/doc/libnettle7 /snap/gnome-3-38-2004/119/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so /snap/gnome-3-38-2004/119/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.7 /snap/gnome-3-38-2004/119/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.7.0 /snap/gnome-3-38-2004/137/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so /snap/gnome-3-38-2004/137/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.7 /snap/gnome-3-38-2004/137/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.7.0

What's going? System seems stable, its largely used for C and embedded C and assembler programming gnu-gcc for arm, esp32 and avr, sdcc stmflash for 8 and 32 bit usbtiny and arduino

I would say it is very clear it does have dependencies. Do you have that file anywhere in your file system?

Please show us `which sigrok-cli`

AFAIK the version of nettle on 22.04 is libnettle8 not libnettle7

`sudo sigrok-cli --list-serial [sudo] Passwort für alex: Available serial/HID/BT/BLE ports: /dev/ttyS4 ttyS4 snip` No prob here on jammy.

Perhaps `sigrok-cli` calls another program which has the dependency. Find out with `strings /usr/bin/sigrok-cli | less`

To see which package (if any) provides the `libnettle.so.7` file, use `dpkg -S libnettle.so.7`.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
