If I am not mistaken, Ubuntu 18.04 is the latest LTS that Armory 0.96.5 can reasonably run on.

Per Bitcoin Core v28.0 release notes (verified the hard way!):


The minimum required glibc to run Bitcoin Core is now 2.31.
This means that RHEL 8 and Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) are no-longer supported. (#29987)


Unfortunately I'd updated my blockchain on an Ubuntu 24.04 system (with bitcoin core v28.0) before moving it to my Ubuntu 18.04 instance.

I am the process of figuring out how to down-rev Bitcoin Core to v27.2 (with minimal reprocess of blockchain data) but I am curious if anybody has any better & practical resolutions for this situation.

Thanks!
