The yazi-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu build no longer runs on Debian 12 stable as of release v25.2.7

What system are you running Yazi on?

Linux X11

What terminal are you running Yazi in?

ghostty 1.1.2

yazi --debug output

./yazi: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.39' not found (required by ./yazi)
./yazi: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by ./yazi)

Describe the bug

I was trying to upgrade from v0.4.2 to v25.2.7 and received an error message stating that GLIBC_2.39 and GLIBC_2.38 are not found. Are those glibc versions now required? Should users of Debian stable now either compile their own version or use the musl build? Thank you!

Minimal reproducer

• Download v25.2.7 on Debian 12 stable
• Unzip the archive
• Run yazi --version and observe the glibc error

Anything else?

No response

Checklist

• I tried the latest nightly build, and the issue is still reproducible
• I updated the debug information (yazi --debug) input box to the nightly that I tried
• I can reproduce it after disabling all custom configs/plugins (mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup)

musl variant (yazi-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.zip) still works as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, as the error says, Yazi now requires GLIBC_2.39, even though I don't remember manually bumping it.

Since our official builds are built in GitHub Actions, this might be due to GitHub recently upgrading the ubuntu-latest runner from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04, with an updated build toolchain. Or it could be that the latest Rust build tools now require a newer version of glibc.

Would it be possible to upgrade your system's glibc, or switch to the musl build?

[michaeljdennis]

Yeah, I'll use the musl build for now and maybe try to make a build from source. Thanks for the update!
