`libxcrypt` for `biber` #299

Closed SepplL closed 1 week ago

SepplL commented 1 week ago

since this seems to occur from time to time this could be something for the FAQ or frequent errors: Install libxcrypt in case of non-working biber

libxcrypt-compat for Fedora and Arch libxcrypt for Ubuntu

Checking, these are hard dependencies for biber to work. The only way biber works in case one hasn't explicitly installed those is that they were already installed by something else.

Since that means they could be removed as "unneeded dependencies" (e.g. via sudo apt auto-remove), we should just add them to the installation procedure explicitly

So maybe directly in the step where we're installing git, make, and curl?

Good idea. I'll create a PR
