We have a server in the DMZ with only connection to a ftp-server on campus for updates. No http(s) service available for apt.
While upgrading to buster, I got the message that the new apt disabled ftp as method. The message also suggested the solution: *Set Dir::Bin::Methods::ftp to "ftp" to enable it again.* My problem: Where do I put that? I have tried the following: Created an /etc/apt.conf with Dir::Bin::Methods::ftp; as the only line. That did not help. I then moved the file to /etc/apt/preferences with the same result. So in which file should this solution go? And what does it mean to " Set Dir::Bin::Methods::ftp to "ftp" to enable it again." ? Something like Dir::Bin::Methods::ftp=ftp ? I did try that. No solution. Regards Johann. -- Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. (Psalm 63:3)
