I got a brand new RPi 3B+ yesterday and installed/updated the latest "Lite" OS (Trixie). All good to this point.

When I started the Reef-Pi / Robo-Tank install, I started bumping into some issues. First was some broken libc Pi Wiring links, so I fixed those (apt --fix-broken install) and restarted the install. Got a little further the second time, until I hit this...

Wondering if I should just reflash Bookworm and start over, or if I can make this work.

I've been geeking out on controller stuff lately (full Apex system running and a full Hydros system running), so I'm looking to dip my toe into the DiY controller universe.
 
I had to go a few pages back, but I guess I found my answer in the official stickied Reef-Pi thread.

Either rollback to an older OS or wait a bit.

I guess that gives me some time to order my kit from Robo-Tank while I wait. I just wanted to start poking around a bit in the meantime.
 
Thats correct, the official Reefpi does not support bookworm.

You can you my fork for Trixie but it has not been tested on a RPi 3B+.
Only tested it on a raspberry pi 5

No Bookworm either? How far back would I need to go?

ETA: I just reimaged with Bullseye and I'll try again. Like I said, this is just for tinkering until I get the RoboTank kit.
