 I can reproduce this in an arm64 qemu img.  It turns out on arm64, the 
 vterm-load-path.el is pointing to the wrong shard library path: 
  
 ,---- 
 | root@host:~# uname -a 
 | Linux host 6.16.7+deb14-arm64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 6.16.7-1 (2025-09-11) 
 aarch64 GNU/Linux 
 | root@host:~# cat /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/vterm-0.0.2/v 
 erm-load-path.el 
 | ;;; set load-path for vterm-module.so -*- lexical-binding: t; -*- 
 | (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/emacs-libvterm") 
 `---- 
  
 According to the buildd log[1], the arm64 package was built on an arm64 
 buildd, but it looks like ${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH} gives the wrong value of 
 `x86_64-linux-gnu'.
