The only head 20200305 images are for amd64: everything else failed to build for head -r358658 . Are you using stable/12 images? Those built ( 12.1-STABLE -r358659 ), including for RPI2. All stable/11 builds failed. (You seem to usually use head but did not comment on using stable/12. So I'm just checking the context here.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
