ok, I will make a new root partition
edit: I started the installation, it will take some time...........
edit2: The installation failed. It is good that you made me try an installation otherwise I would not have known it. I find it weird that people don’t report such things to me.
edit3: I found the problem

Great work!
I would like to concentrate more on MintPPC in the future.

I rebuilt libbytesize without the tests successfully (original Debian package failed to build as the tests failed). Installation of MintPPC32 went fine now with this new package. Later today I will take out the root fs and upload it to my Google drive.

I can't send files to my Google drive now, don't know why. I can send you the file via magic wormhole directly. Let me know when you are online.

Thanks for a new RootFS and i will give it a try.
I am sorry about the lack of time but the Amiga40 Mirari Proto 2 is almost ready for the show.
I will put it in Christians hands when there..
