The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) was a standard
core system that third-party applications written for Linux could

(untested) Maybe temporarily set your sources to old stable or stretch

I could only guess when you installed on the other boxes it was set to
stable (stretch) which was then stable but is now buster.
