*** Failed to find a match for "libevent": Name not found
I’m not sure what could be a possible solution, the package is listed correctly but trying to install it will say that it’s not found.
Yes, that was the reason why the other day I ended up doing my own custom libevent hpkg and use that one. Programs seems to depend on libevent-2.1.so.6 and the normal hpkg package provides libevent-2.1.so.7
I was able to solve it by making a symlink from libevent-2.1.so.7 to libevent-2.1.so.6 and that has made depending apps happy.
Not so easy to update all things at once, specially for packages that take long to compile on old machines, and specially while still learning about all this stuff… and having to run builds way too many times due to my silly mistakes .
