I don't have access to a Debian install and don't have the capacity to troubleshoot this on a VM. I would appreciate it if someone can try do comment out the code block and perform the installation on a fresh Debian install. (so not tainted with a previous displaylink install)

Hi Barabazs, I've done quickly a fresh install of debian 12. Then I've comment out the above block and could perfectly install and setup displaylink.
Also on my existing installation (Debian sid/unstable) I could install displaylink and it doesn't matter if the lines above are comment out or not.
Hi I ran mkdir -p /opt/displaylink and ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /opt/displaylink/libstdc++.so.6 as suggested in #805 now I get the error
sed: can't read /lib/systemd/system/displaylink-driver.service: No such file or directory
#805
#855
Description:
Installation on Debian often fails with
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/opt/displaylink/libstdc++.so.6': No such file or directory
Potential hacky workaround:
#805 (comment)
Root cause:
this code block from 2017 which may or may not be needed anymore...
displaylink-debian/displaylink-debian.sh
Lines 425 to 430 in 512d29b
