V12 update problem

The recent update broke my Raspberry Pi installation. This is not the first time an auto-update has broken my system.

In this case, it is because node got auto-updated from v8.17.0 to v10.19.0, which resulted in a broken node_sqlite3.node, which needs GLIBC_2.28 (but the system has 2.24).

I’m currently trying to downgrade to 8.17.0 in hopes that the system will work again. I’ll then have to figure out how to disable auto-updates for now.

Perhaps you need to restrict the version of node being used to a known working one, for each official mozilla-iot upgrade? Seems like you’re just letting it update to whatever the node folks are doing, but that’s apparently not compatible with the raspberry pi distro you are based on.
