#242474 — new buster install, dvd said 11.,1 but installed 10.1

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Plz excuse the foul attitude, one of seagates finest 2T drives ate its own lunch  friday and I'm on web mail. Lost everything but I have backups I cannot access.



apt/synaptic will not let me install any of Trinity, claims I have held broken packages it refuses to name. and synaptics fix-broken does nothing.


so I'm locked out of my normal email, and the repo version of amanda keeps telling me I can't recover a perfectly good backup because 

/bin/tar is not secure. WTH?


Where do I start on a new buster net install? The backups are all from stretch. All I want is the data. So how do make /bin/tar usable/secure?



Thanks all.


Cheers, Gene Heskett

A copy/paste of the error message would be helpful.

> Where do I start on a new buster net install?

I started here
  https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/11.1.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/
with
  firmware-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso

I have no idea :(  Hopefully someone else will be able to help you with that..

Best Regards,

Don't. Just don't. Install bullseye. Use the unofficIal firmware included
.iso from http://debian.osuosl.org/debian-cdimage/11.1.0/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-11.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso - a US mirror so ought to be OK for you: 
DVD so that you have the maximum available software available to you to 
start with.

I'd really advise you to use the expert install mode if you want to do
anything complex - but that's as much because it is very familiar to me
as anything else. It does ask all the low level questions, though, so is
a good choice when you want to customise anything.

Since Trinity comes from outside Debian main and from a third party, I 
would also advise that you not install a desktop environment from Debian
on first pass through the installer but then follow the instructions from
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instructions

The backups are all from stretch. All I want is the data. 
So how do make /bin/tar usable/secure?

Which version of tar are you using? There appears to be a version of tar
internal to amanda and, of course, GNU tar.
[Don't use amanda here]

I'd suggest Bullseye because, although buster remains supported, time is
running down.

Please help everyone else on the list understand how well/badly this goes.
Precise error messages or sequences of commands you've run are really
helpful - guesstimates from any of the rest of us in the absence of 
information are not always as helpful as they might be.

All the very best, as ever,

I've always liked script for capturing what happens on the command
line but the captured control chars made the saved text close to
unreadable for me.  Resetting TERM makes the captured output much
easier to read - eg:

TERM=tty  script /tmp/script.output

You should have no issue recovering Buster era amanda backups on a
Bullseye installation. I just did a slew of fresh Bullseye
installations and recovered from backups made under Buster. So I
recommend you install Bullseye, not Buster.
