There is no librtlsdr-dev package available in the official Raspbian Wheezy package repositories which is causing a dependency issue when trying to build dump1090-mutability1.15~dev packages.

Debating even supporting older releases such as Wheezy at this point... Anyone see an issue with this? Until then support for older releases has been shelved at least for the time being if not for good.

You are more familiar with setting up dump1090-mutability on Wheezy then I am. The following packages you suggested installing on the FlightAware forum should resolve this issue correct?

Yes I have these packages installed on my Wheezy Pi. I followed Oliver's directions here:

You will need a librtlsdr0 package for Raspbian. There is no standard build of this. I have built suitable packages that are available from this release page: https://github.com/mutability/librtlsdr/releases

@jprochazka
I have created a basic (minimal install) Debian 7.9 (wheezy) VM on my laptop for testing. As expected, the dump1090 installation currently fails:

Let me know when you want me to test things again.

OK, I think I have found a generic solution (i.e. not tied to downloading any specific files from any specific location).
Steps:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add this to the end:

sudo apt-get update (I think that is already part of the install scripts.)

After doing the above, dump1090-mutability installed without any issues. I leave it up to you to perform the required version (wheezy/jessy) tests and add the wheezy-backports source.

Thinking about this a bit more and reading https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=58836 I'm not so sure anymore if the above will be a good idea on a Pi, especially Pi1.

I think the best way is to determine if the script is running on a Wheezy Pi device (armhf) and install the two required packages from here:

You could also check first if the packages are already available:

I don't think the back port idea that I posted earlier is such a good idea after all.

I no longer see the point in supporting Wheezy based releases due to the age.
