Re: dislocker package broken, fix in 'sid'. How long 'til in backports?
Thank you for the comments! I emailed the developer. As the dislocker packages don't seem to have dependencies - that aren't part of stable (buster), I decided to create a so-called "FrankenDebian" ( https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian ) Here is hack: I downloaded the (amd64) debs: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/dislocker/download https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libdislocker0.7/download I then in the directory of the '.deb's did this: # apt install ./dislocker_0.7.1-5_amd64.deb # apt install ./libdislocker0.7_0.7.1-5_amd64.deb If done properly - you should see this with 'dpkg --list' # dpkg --list |grep dislocker ii dislocker 0.7.1-5 amd64read/write encrypted BitLocker volumes ii libdislocker0.70.7.1-5 amd64read/write encrypted BitLocker volumes (shared library) dislocker now works for me. :-) If there is an easier more elegant (less hack-ish) way to do the above... I am all ears. Michael

It has already migrated to testing (bullseye), so this is one pre-condition already fulfilled. On the other hand buster has 0.7.1-4+b1. Depending on the complexity of the change it might qualify for a stable update (i.e. buster-proposed-updates and buster proper on the next point release). You should ask the package maintainer(s) about their plans, if any. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Thanks, Michael PS - I will trying making my own backport ( https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian / https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation ) but prefer to avoid that... if isn't too long a wait. Another suggestion I read somewhere is, include the src repo for sid in your sources-list. After an update, seems you will have the code to build it yourself, and ensure that you don't need anything untoward. Never tried it my self, but sounds interesting. To answer you question directly, not long.I used a vbox to test upgrading from bullseye to sid, a couple of weeks ago, to see how much difference there is.
