new buster install, dvd said 11.,1 but installed 10.1

[Gene Heskett <gheskett@shentel.net>]

Plz excuse the foul attitude, one of seagates finest 2T drives ate its own lunch  friday and I'm on web mail. Lost everything but I have backups I cannot access.

apt/synaptic will not let me install any of Trinity, claims I have held broken packages it refuses to name. and synaptics fix-broken does nothing.

so I'm locked out of my normal email, and the repo version of amanda keeps telling me I can't recover a perfectly good backup because

/bin/tar is not secure. WTH?

Where do I start on a new buster net install? The backups are all from stretch. All I want is the data. So how do make /bin/tar usable/secure?

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
