And, from the peanut gallery, if you use a GUI (for instance, apper, which I
don't know if it still exists in Buster, for example), and search for exfat,
it would tell you the packages that are available / needed for exfat (i.e., -
fuse and -utils).
(Aside: apper works fine for me in Wheezy. It still exists in Jessie, but has
some kind of permission problem that I've never bothered to dig into -- it
will search for packages, but it won't install them and doesn't prompt me for
a password, it just displays a message that starts: ~"You have failed to
provide proper authorization." (from memory, as I'm on the Wheezy system, not
the Jessie).
So, at that point, I use apt-get with the displayed package names (or things
like apt-get update and upgrade).
