From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah, somehow I didn't see 18 there and only looked at 17. Thanks!
I tried pulling just the one package from the sid repo, but that created a cascade of dependencies, including all of llvm. I was able to get those files installed but not able to get clinfo to succeed. I also tried installing llvm-19 from the repo at https://apt.llvm.org/, with similar results. clinfo didn't throw the fatal errors anymore, but it didn't work, either. It still reported
Number of devices 0and OpenCL-based tools crashed anyway. Not with the same error, but with something generic about not finding a device or possibly having corrupt drivers.Should I bite the bullet and do a full ugprade to sid, or is there some way to this more precisely that won't muck up Bookworm?
Update: I upgraded to Sid. Unfortunately, mesa-opencl-icd depends on libclc-17, which uninstalls -18. So I can't get OpenCL working while the correct libclc is installed.
No idea where to go from here. I'll probably restore my Bookworm snapshot, since I don't want to be on Sid if it doesn't solve this problem.
you ought to be able to specify the version to install of libclc after mesa-opencl-icd is installed, you could instead force the newer libclc 18 with dpkg. you can also create a vile mutant install by adding sid backports or repository to your perfectly fine stable install. here are some resources to help you destroy your system
e: i was hoping that last sentence would be clearly four links because of underlining but that's not working, here it is in cursed haiku format:

Thanks for the links! I've never attempted making my own backport before. I'll give it a shot. I might also try re-upgrading to sid to see if I can wrangle it a little differently. Maybe I don't actually need mesa-opencl-ics if I'm installing AMD's installer afterwards anyway. At least, I found something to that effect in a different but similar discussion.
