Hi,

I had an issue installing the Bisq 1.10.0 `.deb` package on Debian 12 Bookworm because it depends on:

```auto
libasound2t64

```

Debian 12 still provides:

```auto
libasound2

```

Since `libasound2t64` belongs to newer Debian releases, I didn’t want to pull it from Trixie/Sid and risk breaking my Bookworm system.

Here is the workaround I used:

```auto
mkdir -p ~/deb-fix
cd ~/deb-fix

dpkg-deb -R ~/Bisq-64bit-1.10.0.deb pkg
nano pkg/DEBIAN/control

```

In the `Depends:` line, replace:

```auto
libasound2t64

```

with:

```auto
libasound2t64 | libasound2

```

Then rebuild and install:

```auto
dpkg-deb -b pkg bisq-bookworm-fixed.deb
sudo apt install ./bisq-bookworm-fixed.deb

```

Of course, this is just an unofficial workaround. Ideally, the `.deb` dependency could be changed upstream to support both Debian 12 and newer Debian-based systems.

Yes, this solution implies editing the libasound package itself to also take up the name of the package bisq looks for.  
Depending on the kind of solution you want to adopt, you can also leave the package untouched and create a clone with a different name:

Bisq 1.10.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 – Dependency Fix  
Problem:  
Bisq 1.10.0 requires libasound2t64, which only exists on Ubuntu 24.04+. On Ubuntu 22.04 you get this error:  
bisq depends on libasound2t64; but it is not installed  
Solution – create a dummy package:

Bash

```auto
sudo apt install equivs
cd /tmp
equivs-control libasound2t64
nano libasound2t64

```

Delete everything in the file and paste this:

Section: misc Priority: optional Standards-Version: 3.9.2 Package: libasound2t64 Version: 1.0 Maintainer: dummy Description: Dummy package for libasound2t64

Save with Ctrl+O → Enter → Ctrl+X, then:

Bash

```auto
equivs-build libasound2t64
sudo dpkg -i libasound2t64_1.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/Bisq-64bit-1.10.0.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken install

```

Actually, libasound2 and libasound2t64 provides the same alsa library libasound.so.2 (just different version), so there’s no need to edit the libasound2 package.

The package renaming is part of the ABI transition to 64bit time\_t, so I don’t think it will cause any trouble (until 2038 at least)

But it still a “dirty workaround”, just to be able to trade waiting for a proper fix…
