its a sad fact the updater was built against newer OS while not supporting older OS which still have support and usage

downloading the Releases works just fine

i can look at my old 2013 version v4x folder (~/Games/unvanquished) last updated 2018-2019 using v51 ./updater2 Git version: v0.0.5 Latest versions: updater = "v0.1.0" game = "0.52.0" Updater update to version "v0.1.0" required https://github.com/Unvanquished/updater2/releases/download/v0.1.0/UnvUpdaterLinux.zip does not exist

changing download-pk3.sh does retrieve latest files from: https://cdn.unvanquished.net/0.52/pkg/ when changing VERSION=0.52

... like i said, can manually download release and install it, just makes it more tedious than typing in a command

many updates since v40 using the old updater, now its borked by progress creep.

We already fixed this issue on the master branch, but a new updater release was not created since then.

You can download a compatible version here: https://github.com/Unvanquished/updater/releases/download/v0.1.0/OlderLibcLinux.zip

Side note: download-pk3.sh had been replaced bydownload-paks in 2019. 😉

the updater with OLDLIBS did work, properly downloaded and updated

then of course unvanquished stopped working.... now i cant even delete everything and extract the release files to make it work ugh....hmmm.......

thanks for pointing me to the fixed updater
