Errata for BLFS Version 12.4

• The version of libinput shipped with BLFS 12.4 is known to cause crashes on systems with ALPS touchpads, and 32-bit systems. Please update to libinput-1.29.1 or later to resolve the problem.
• In the Python Modules page, Pygments should be a required dependency of pytest-8.4.1, instead of an optional dependency.
• In the dvd+rw-tools page, the patch is malformed. Please use dvd+rw-tools-7.1-consolidated_fixes-2.patch instead.
• In the Test::Fatal-0.017 page, the md5sum is incorrect. It should be 2f160c31e1848536e3b82112d573bb76.
• Due to a breaking API change in graphviz-13, valadoc may crash in some circumstances. The patch vala-0.56.18-graphviz_13_fix-1.patch fixes the issue.
• When configuring libsigc++ and libsigc++-3, the support for Boost is disabled even though users will have Boost installed. To fix this, run sed -i "s/'system',//" meson.build prior to changing into the 'bld' directory.
• At the request of the system administrators at the Free Software Foundation we need to change all references to ftp.gnu.org/gnu to ftpmirror.gnu.org. There are 31 references to ftp.ftp.gnu.org/gnu in BLFS 12.4. When downloading these files, use the newer URL to reduce the apparant hangs that sometimes occur.
