    Some context, I am using a raspberry pi 5 running pi-os bookworm 12. I have a coral ai usb accelerator, and I am trying to run a tflite model on it. Due to pycoral only supporting versions 3.6 to 3.9, I installed 3.9.0 using pyenv. However, I had to build it without some packages due to not being able to install them no matter what I searched. I then tried to run a test script

    #!/usr/bin/env python3
    from pathlib import Path
    from tflite_runtime.interpreter import Interpreter, load_delegate

    MODEL = Path("/home/USER/models/efficientdet_lite1_int8_edgetpu.tflite")
    delg = load_delegate("/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libedgetpu.so.1")
    interp = Interpreter(model_path=str(MODEL), experimental_delegates=[delg])
    interp.allocate_tensors()
    print("? allocate_tensors() OK ? interpreter built successfully")


    But I got the error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/USER/test_tpu_model.py", line 3, in <module>
    from tflite_runtime.interpreter import Interpreter, load_delegate
    File "/home/USER/tflite-env-2/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tflite_runtime/interpreter.py", line 21, in <module>
    import ctypes
    File "/home/USER/.pyenv/versions/3.9.18/lib/python3.9/ctypes/init.py", line 8, in <module>
    from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ctypes'


    I did some research and found that it was due to not having the module libffi-dev when compiling 3.9.0, but no matter what I do, I can not find a way to install libff-dev

    I have updated my source list multiple times

    My sources.list:

    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
    deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ bookworm main


    My coral-edgetpu.list:

    deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt coral-edgetpu-stable main


    My raspi.list:

    deb http://archive.raspberrypi.com/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free rp

    #deb-src http://archive.raspberrypi.com/debian/ bookworm main


    Noting pops up when I apt-cache search for it

    USER@raspberrypi:\~ $ apt-cache search libffi | grep dev
    USER@raspberrypi:\~ $


    Same thing happens with apt-cache search "libffi.*dev"

    When I try to just sudo apt-get install it I get the error:

    USER@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
    Reading package lists... Done

    Package libffi-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source


    E: Package 'libffi-dev' has no installation candidate
