I've been having problems getting Mandos to work, so I'm trying to
update it to the latest version on my RPi 2 Model B running Raspian 11
(bullseye).

If I run apt-get update with the following lines in
/etc/apt/sources.list

deb https://ftp.recompile.se/pub/mandos/debian bullseye-backports main

deb-src https://ftp.recompile.se/pub/mandos/debian bullseye-backports
main

I get an error about the signature being invalid, and if I comment out
those lines and create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mandos.sources as shown
here for bullseye [Mandos
(recompile.se)](https://www.recompile.se/mandos#Download)  and
download the key, apt-get update says that the repository doesn't
support armhf architecture.

Can someone help me with this please, as I really need to get Mandos
working first before setting up anything else on my server?

I've pasted the full output here [Update Mandos errors -
Pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/UWjFakyM)

As you can see here
https://ftp.recompile.se/pub/mandos/debian/dists/bullseye-backports/
that repo doesnt offer any ARM platforms. You simply cant use from
there what doesnt exist.

Find it somewhere else, contact the creators or compile it yourself.

OK, thanks. I'll stick with the version that is available in the
default repo for now then.

Another problem I have is with mandos-client. It installs on my server
(Debian 11) when I do 'apt-get install mandos-client' but when I try
to run it with 'mandos-client' or 'sudo mandos-client' it says
'command not found'.

Maybe try /r/LinuxQuestions /r/Linux4Noobs or just simply
/r/TechSupport

Thanks. All the files seem to be present, but they're not being found
for some reason. I'll ask for help with this on those other subs
you've suggested.

I found a way to update it. If you add one of the mirrors listed here:

[https://packages-pkgmirror-csail.debian.org/bullseye/armhf/mandos-
client/download](https://packages-pkgmirror-
csail.debian.org/bullseye/armhf/mandos-client/download)

and then run 'sudo apt-get update'

it will probably say that the key is missing.

Then you can get the missing key using:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys xxx

where xxx is the ID for the missing key

and then 'sudo apt-get install mandos' will install the latest
version.

mandos-client still doesn't work, but hopefully I'll find a fix for
that too.
