Install monit in Debian 10 (buster)

Question

I try to install monit in Debian Buster, but it sais

Package monit is not available, but is referred to by another package.

How do I find out this referenced package? Or do I need to install an alternative monitoring too in buster?

Answer 1

On Debian Buster, monit is available on backports repository.

Add buster-backports:

printf "%s\n" "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster-backports main" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/buster-backports.list

Install monit:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -t buster-backports monit
