Synaptic did find it, but its version 1.2.3, too early for this >1.3 demanding makefile. I looked at the repo's but did not find a backports entry, nor did I find anything from debian-arm not pre-filtered by passing thru the raspian repo first, no direct debian-arm entries. Jessie is running well, and except for the keyboard/mouse miss-fires, dead stable. I've tried a stretch install several times on the rock64, and setting up an amanda-client to back it up is a sure way to lock it up, needs a full 10 second powerdown to reboot and recover. Zip in the logs for clues. So I won't touch a stretch install on a working machine until amanda can back it up. And its backing up this jessie install every night w/o any hiccups. Open to suggestions as to what I do about the out of date sphinx-common install. Seems like I ought to be able to find it in backports, but whose? /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ entry preferred.
