I posted an update at Unable to Upgrade/Install RealVNC Server v7.12.0 on RPi with observations that recent 32-bit (armhf) versions of the realvnc-vnc-server package are only compatible with ARMv7 based machines and no longer work on ARMv6 based machines. I don't know if that is the correct venue for getting a resolution for this problem but hopefully this gets resolved at least until EOL of these ARMv6 based boards. Huh, in fact, I wonder if these BCM2835/ARM1176 (ARMv6) based machines have already reached end of support life and therefore the change of the realvnc-vnc-server package build for ARMv7-only is expected? I tried to look for Raspberry Pi product briefs for these older ARMv6 machines to check support life status but couldn't find PBs for these older models. EOL for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is January 2028 so it makes sense that these older ARMv6 based machines are already past EOL. In which case, the only solution is to disable realvnc-vnc-server package updates in the current OS release and/or use older OS releases.
