I know that debian 8 (Jessie) is deprecated, but I have a debian 8 server that cannot be upgraded in the near future. I'm keeping that server running, and for the most part, so far, so good.

However ... I'd like to install the opendkim and opendkim-tools packages on this server, and I can't find those packages in any apt repos.

Does anyone know of any 3rd-party apt repo from which I could obtain the debian 8 packages for opendkim and opendkim-tools?

Thank you very much in advance.

  • Have you considered building it from source? There are releases from around the time of Debian 8 on Github. – Nasir Riley Feb 18 '23 at 01:44
  • Thank you. Yes, I have tried that, but due to the out-dated-ness of my debian 8 host, there are a few packages needed for the build which I cannot install via `apt`, either. I could go and try to build those packages from source, as well, but it's a lot of work to do all of this software building, and I'm hoping I can instead find a repo where I can get `opendkim` and `opendkim-tools`, because that would be much quicker and easier. But yes, I'll eventually bite the bullet and undertake the build, if no repo can be found. – HippoMan Feb 18 '23 at 03:36

I found a suitable repo for opendkim for Jessie:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main non-free

It gives me a warning about the repo contents being unverified, but that doesn't matter to me.

And now, after installing opendkim from that repo, I have it working on my host.
