INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of tribler to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libtorrent==1.2.19 (from tribler) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for libtorrent==1.2.19

Expected behavior is that pip3 installs Tribler on a vanilla Debian ARM64 host.

The OS is:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release:        12
Codename:       bookworm

Additional context is:

$ apt list python3 python3-libtorrent libtorrent-dev libtorrent-rasterbar-dev

Sadly, Tribler cannot run on Python 3.11 yet (main issue: #7282).

If you're feeling very adventurous and you have a few hours to waste, you can compile libtorrent yourself (not easy: #5020). If not, the only other supported option is to switch to Python 3.9.

Hopefully a libtorrent release that supports Python 3.11 will appear soon. For now, I consider #7282 to sufficiently capture this issue and I will close this.
