thank you 👍

one note, for some reason there's no buster security updates for mips64. Maybe I already knew why, but at least today I definitely don't.
upgrading from jessie directly in a test, I had to accept following keys:

# apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys \

For others: also install aptitude at the first moment when you can. It has a different dependency solver that can help you with broken deps, I.e. if there's a stuck libc6.i386 somewhere you dont even need but won't go away... Talha Asghar ***@***.***> schrieb am Di., 12. Aug. 2025, 14:57:
