[Documentation] `pip3.6` does not exist in most package repositories, so recommend `python3.6 -m pip`.

I am solely able to evaluate so much, due to my choice of project being nigh unmaintained:

iOS 17 support

opened 09:56PM - 28 Oct 23 UTC

Schlaubischlump

### Description Since iOS 17 Apple changed how the developer functions, such …as taking a screenshot, launching apps and location simulation are accessed. IDB currently doesn't seem to support these changes. ### Reproduction Try to use any of the functions mentioned above on an iOS 17 device. ### Solution To my knowledge two steps are required to support iOS 17. 1. IDB must support mounting personalized developer disk images on iOS devices. 2. IDB must use CoreDevice instead of MobileDevice to access developer functionality on iOS 17. ### Additional Information Are there any plans to support iOS 17 ?

However, hopefully that provides some insight.

@glb, that’s not particularly intuitive. Reckon that the lads developing toolbox would agree? I don’t mind mentioning it to them, if it’s not been said 100 times before.

glb · March 21, 2025, 4:16pm

A quick test appears to indicate that I was wrong about Toolbox being able to run software installed on the host system. My mistake.

Edit: Let me delete that statement so people don’t find it and get confused.

glb · March 21, 2025, 4:23pm

FWIW, here is the documentation I could find about Toolbox being able to run software on the host system:

Excerpted from docs.fedoraproject.org – Toolbox – How it works:

In most cases, when a command is run inside a container, the program from inside the container is used. However, there are a few special cases where the program on the host is used instead (using flatpak-spawn). One example of this is the toolbox command itself; this makes it possible to use toolbx from inside toolbx containers.

rokejulianlockhart · March 21, 2025, 4:54pm

@glb, even if it failing is expected, it shouldn’t partially install - dnf should refuse to function, in that case. Have I misunderstood?

Regardless, I’ve tentatively filed the undermentioned:

github.com/containers/toolbox

"failed: Operation not permitted" when installing `@development-tools`.

Hopefully, it’s actionable. Irrespective, should we conclude that toolbox isn’t ready for Homebrew, or is this fairly unimportant?

glb · March 21, 2025, 5:09pm

Well, dnf does a pre-install transaction check and if it finds problems at that stage (e.g. missing dependancies), it will cancel the entire operation. However, if a package reports an error in its post-run scripts (after the files have been copied into place), that is just reported at the end and it is up to the user to decide how severe the error/warning is and either manually fix the problem or uninstall the software. I don’t think there is any problem with dnf. It is doing the best it can.

From what I can make of the error message, it is just the diffstat command that is failing to install in Toolbox because Toolbox’s isolation is too restrictive for whatever diffstat needs to do. There might be workarounds such as using flatpak-spawn to run diffstat on the host system when it is needed or granting Toolbox access to the system files that diffstat needs.

As to how critical diffstat is to Homebrew, I cannot say. It is quite possible that Homebrew does not need diffstat at all (in which case you could ignore the error message entirely and everything should be fine).
