If I was you, I would remove the buster-updates sources, keeping main 
and security and add stretch main and security sources and install 
Synaptic.  Works great for me.  It seems only a few users and even less 
developers know the power of Synaptic, it's ability's are great and 
there is no replacement for Synaptic.
