Package: zstd
Severity: wishlist
It would be really handy to have a backports package available for
Debian 8 so that zstd could be used for current systems without having
to develope an in-house package.
We have quite a few jessie systems, and it will be supported via LTS
until 2020, [1] so it may be a little while before they're all upgraded.
I was able to install the stable/stretch version of libzstd1 [2], but
trying to install the corresponding binary command package [3] gives
the following:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zstd:
zstd depends on libstdc++6 (>= 6); however:
Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 4.9.2-10.
Thanks for your time.
