    I wonder if you could explain *why* you need this so immediately and
    also
    why you asked all the Debian developers at once, please.


    Hi Ilari,

    It may be that you are unlucky. Buster is now in Long Term Support (LTS) as
    the oldstable distribution. The decision has been taken to close buster-backports as any updates should be going only through buster-security. See also: https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2022/09/msg00020.html

    My respectful suggestion to you would be to move to Debian 11 (bullseye) which was initially released in August 2021 and should be supported for a year
    past the release of Debian 12. If updating, please take account of the
    Bullseye release notes and, in particular, changes to /etc/apt/sources.list

    See: https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/index.en.html

    It is anticipated that Debian 12 (Bookworm) will be released later this year.

    There may be a better way to request that Debian developers should
    help you
    but without more details, none of us can tell.

    With every good wish, as ever,
