Error during install: tool arduino:bossac@1.8.0-48-gb176eee not available for the current OS
When attempting to install a new core, the install process fails with an unavailable dependency error.
Expected behavior
When attempting to install a new core, and the install process fails on a dependency, contextual information regarding how to take steps towards remediating the failure (Eg, who to contact regarding the dependency, how to compile said dependency, or even a link to where dependencies (and updates to them) get defined...something actionable).
Are dependencies like bossa(c) an arduino issue, even? Would I be better off taking this up with Adafruit?
Even just printing the program version, OS, and dependency link would be useful...because I have no idea how arduino-cli sees my homelab OS, but if it printed that I could a least search "update bossac for <OS_NAME>" and find something.
Environment
-
CLI version (output of
arduino-cli version): -

Additional context
I'm more than willing to jump through the necessary hoops to get this working.
There's just not a lot of info to go on, and my attempts to discern the proper way from the docs have...not produced results.
