Debian 10 Phalcon package installation: Package not found

Hi,

Tried setting up phalcon on a Debian 10 (buster) server, but the package was not found. In the past never had problem on Debian 9 or on Ubuntu

lsb_release -a

Distributor ID: Debian

Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)

Release: 10

Codename: buster

curl -s "https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/phalcon/stable/script.deb.sh" | sudo bash

Detected operating system as debian/buster.

Checking for curl...

Detected curl...

Checking for gpg...

Detected gpg...

Running apt-get update... done.

Installing debian-archive-keyring which is needed for installing

apt-transport-https on many Debian systems.

Installing apt-transport-https... done.

Installing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/phalcon_stable.list...done.

Importing packagecloud gpg key... done.

Running apt-get update... done.

The repository is setup! You can now install packages.

cat phalcon_stable.list

Looks good, buster is Debian 10, but now...

Need to compile or is something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I had that issue too but for me it was just a simple matter of using the stretch repo instead of buster.

In other words I use the following (stretch) repositories within buster and then the packages are there.

Everything seems to work as expected so far. Buster is awesome by the way!

I hope that helps?

I thought it was a no go to use the packages from a previous Debian version, but it works flawlessly. Thank you. Still though, it should be resolved.

Stretch/Stable packages will be fine with Buster/Stable 99% of the time. Debian is all about stability, but it is still compatible with previous versions. They just like to make sure nothing breaks the system before they push them to Buster/Stable.

However if you're not confident you can always have a look at "Timeshift" and use that as a system restore like on Windows.

For the record, I have spent the last 2 weeks installing everything I shouldn't on Buster and I haven't managed to break it so far :D

But yeah, I don't think they are going to have to change much (if anything) to push Phalcon over to Buster.
