x265-3.5-x86_64-1alien.xzm >> the version in 002-xtra is at 3.5) if there is something wrong, how to correct.
just that you shouldn't need that module.

Probably the easiest thing to do is to boot in Always Fresh mode, it should be on the boot menu, if not then add base_only norootcopy to the boot cmdline. Then activate draw.io, if it opens you know it's good (it really should). Close draw.io and activate another module, only one, and try to open draw.io again. If it opens, close it and activate another module. Repeat for the rest of the modules until something breaks draw.io.

It may seem laborious, but it's really the best way to find the issue. Draw.io runs fine on my machine without avahi installed. I would move the X265-3.5-x86_64-1alien.xzm to the optional folder, though it sounds like it's not needed.

hi if you have the old packages you can restore it if your system is umounted remove the new packages and put in the old ones you can do without trouble,you restore the old system,the always fresh boot allow you to check only the base directory software without modules and changes,if the system boot without trouble you can activate the software into the modules directory one by one and see if work ,the changes directory if you have one,all the tweak that you do to the system are stored into the changes directory,if a software upgrade need also a libs version upgrade your changes don't match the requested version so you have the error on,porteus like system is a read only system only the changes directory allow you to modify something on the system.
