Further information

Hello there! I'm not sure if Debian 13 is officially supported by now, but I can see there Is a relevant dependency list for it here: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/blob/master/lgsm/data/debian-13.csv

In this file libtinfo5:i386 is listed for Garry's Mod (and some other games as well) but this package is not available as of Debian 13:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libtinfo5&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all

I'm not sure what is this dependecy for, but it seems like the Garry's mod server boots up without it, so I don't know if it's needed anymore. I did just some basic tests tho.

There was a similar issue in the past but for Ubuntu 24: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/4589 where this dependency was just removed.

FYI: I've opened a PR to remove libtinfo5:i386 from Debian 13 deps: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/pull/4828
