>From main ignorance, I stumbled about for a week or so. But, I've finally got my cell running again. I managed that by finding and installing the 1.8.7 rpm build off the OpenSuSE build servers, and fumbling my way through the re-keying process. Now, I've got 4 Debian 10 (buster) VMs that need the same update, and I can't find it? Any leads? The latest version I have been able to find at Debian is 1.8.6.5? 2 of the VMs are "Fileservers" and 2 are build systems.
