debian 13 btw, hence the lack of libpcre3 (i did install libpcre2 before going through the setup). none of the commands before this one error out. checked nimble -v, printed nimble v0.20.1 compiled at 2026-01-17 02:32:58 (also tried using choosenim to switch from stable to developer branch but no dice). i'll set up a debian 12 vm to see if it is just a trixie thing but i doubt i'll be much help otherwise :head_in_hands:

(p.s. the command was run with --verbose so i don't know why it was still asking me for it)

update: debian 12 got through it no problem, so this new version of libpcre must be the issue. i understand that it'd probably take a while to migrate the code to use libpcre2 instead of libpcre3 though, and i was using nitter for a very small personal task anyways, so i'm not too upset about it. i guess i'll just use the vm until the switch
