As far as I can tell yum was removed from Debian in late 2019 / early
2020, and was last available in Buster (Debian 10).

https://packages.debian.org/buster/yum

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/yum

Also, yum is meant for handling RPM packages, which Debian does not
use to begin with.

Why do you want to install yum? This smells strongly of a XY problem;
there is almost certainly a better way to do what you _actually_ want
to do on Debian.
