Troubleshooting • Re: Repo no longer has a Release file.

I even tried switching over to the Debian repos and I am getting the same thing.

Change /etc/apt/sources.list back to how it was before. Using the Debian repos will break the install as they're not compiled for armhf.

Is this repo currently down? Or what can I do to fix this?

buster-backports was removed from the main server as Debian backports only supports the previous release. Anything further back gets archived.

Removal of buster-backports from the debian archive

Debian Backports does not support LTS [1], therefore buster-backports is unsupported since August 1st 2022.

Despite of the documentation buster-backport was still available on the mirrors, that changed recently with the archival of buster-backports. Unfortunately we missed to create an announcement in 2022 which led so some surprise. Please take this as the missing announcement.

Or what can I do to fix this?

Find the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for buster-backports and change the URL to http://archive.debian.org/debian

Debian Buster and buster-backports are both unsupported now.
