Dear list, I need to download a bunch of udeb packages from bookworm i386 repository. Thus I created a list with the package names, but obviously I did not do correctly.
On my amd64 system I edited the sources.list and added deb [arch=i386] http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free- firmware deb-src [arch=i386] http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non- free-firmware Then did an "apt update" and afterwards I tried xargs apt -d install --reinstall < /home/username/mypackagelist.txt This told me, that none of the packages are found. Not a single one. --- snip ---- LANG=C xargs apt-get -d --reinstall install < /home/myusername/mypackages.txt Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

On the other hand, these packages should be available for example in backports.debian.org. Is there a way, to download them using the list or must I search and find every package by using ftp and download every package each manually? Thanks for any help! Best regards Hans
