****** The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) was a standard core system that third-party applications written for Linux could depend upon. This package provides the most minimal layer to be able to install and run selected legacy LSB packages on Debian. ****** (untested) Maybe temporarily set your sources to old stable or stretch and pick it up from there (then reset them of course). I could only guess when you installed on the other boxes it was set to stable (stretch) which was then stable but is now buster.
