Interesting -- where can I read about that? The release notes says that ppc64el is an officially supported architecture for Debian 11: https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/ppc64el/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#idm120 I don't see any warning about ppc64el being a non-supported architecture when downloading official installer images, nor when download cloud-images: https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/ > Also the +deb11u1 version of the package isn't in the Debian security > updates archive, only the main Debian archive in the > stable-proposed-updates suite. Ah, right, my mistake. > What do your apt sources look like? This is what the cloud-image installed for me: root@pippi:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main root@pippi:~# This is a local customization: root@pippi:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debug.list deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-debug/ bullseye-debug main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-debug/ bullseye-proposed-updates-debug main root@pippi:~# Thanks, you helped me find the problem -- after removing the bullseye-proposed-updates-debug line all packages installed fine. I guess somehow apt preferred the version from b-p-u-d compared to what's in b-d and failed. The reason I used the above lines came from the wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages It says I should use proposed-updates-debug to get debug symbols for stable security updates, which is something I want. Isn't the problem that somehow the package from bullseye-proposed-updates-debug was prefered over the one from bullseye-debug? For security updates you want that, for updates to stable you don't want that. Maybe there should be a bullseye-updates-debug distribution? > What is the architecture of your system? Run dpkg --print-architecture ppc64el /Simon
