Create a buster-backports branch from the most recent debian/2.4.x tag in the package repository, and follow the procedure for backports: https://debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net/policy/packaging.html#git-backports Add your backported package to your own apt repo and use that to upgrade the installed package, or install it manually. Since the virtual ABI dependency wasn't updated for every patch release in 2.4 you don't need to rebuild any of the reverse dependencies when upgrading to a newer 2.4.x. Alternatively, work with the package maintainer to get the required bugfixes into an official stable update, assuming that the severity is important or higher. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#upload-stable Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1 _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
