dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of hush:

  hush depends on libc6 (>= 2.29); however:
    Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.23-0ubuntu11.

  hush depends on libstdc++6 (>= 7); however:
    Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.I 11.

Coincidently ran into an issue similar to this at work a few months ago. We had to update the kernel to the latest available version without doing a major upgrade but it resolved the dependency issues.

@dbongo thanks for this report. I think we can either bundle those libs with the binaries, or compile things statically to prevent this error

@dbongo the core reason was that I was generating the .deb on Ubuntu 19 without proper static libraries configured. We will be generating new debs for a new release soon, and once we can confirm they work on Ubuntu 16.04, we will close this issue. Thanks again for your bug report.

@dbongo our new Debian package is generated on Ubuntu 16.04, so it should hopefully work! Please open a new Github Issue if you run into any issues with our new deb

[dbongo]

@leto will do. Thanks again for getting back to me on this!
