Pd-0.50.2-3 (as shipped with focal) is unable to load the external objects (plugins) shipped in the "puredata-extra" package (which is built from the same source package as "puredata" itself) due to a problem with some symbols that should be provided by libm.
The missing symbols are `__exp_finite`, `__log_finite`, `__logf_finite` and `__pow_finite`.
The affected externals are:
- bonk~
- choice
- fiddle~
- sigmund~

The problem appears to come from a change in the symbols when upgrading from glibc-2.30 to glibc-2.31 (e.g. see https:/ /sourceware. org/pipermail/ libc-alpha/ 2020-May/ 113773. html)
[Test Plan]
a quick way to check whether the objects can be loaded is by running this script (after installing the "puredata-extra" package):
~~~ puredata/ extra/* / -name "*-help.pd" -exec pd -nrt -nogui -send "pd quit" {} ";"
find /usr/lib/
~~~
i've attached the output of such a test run (note the lines starting with "error:")
