Retroarch fails to run on Bookworm

[Silent-Hunter]

Trying to run Retroarch gives the error:
retroarch: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.58: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, it is not installable:

 sudo apt install libavcodec58

I understand if it's not compatible with Bookworm yet.

@foxhound311 rescue me!

It seems the issue is due RetroArch and lib deps from RPi OS 64-bit I can't handle. We need to wait for the guys to update the repository. I'll let the issue opened to remember this problem.

Bookworm seems to be using the newer libavcodec59 instead of libavcodec58. Wouldn't that mean building retroarch against libavcodec59?

Maybe @foxhound311 can check it out
