Unfortunately, Debian Ports currently does not build any packages

from non-free and it's not an arch-all package (_all.deb suffix),
you will have to build that package yourself.
We might build contrib and non-free packages for Debian Ports
in the future, but I am not sure whether that's possible from
the legal point of view.

I forgot to mention. You need to install the package "debian-ports-archive-keyring":
# apt install debian-ports-archive-keyring
In case you are prompted to install from an untrusted source, say "Y".
Then run "apt update" again.

There was a plenty of updates available for Debian Buster PP64... I selected them all and started the update process. Download went ok, but there were some problems in the installation step... After I rebooted Debian, it was not anymore able to open the desktop (no error messages, just blinking cursor on black backround screen).
I was able to open a terminal window with F2 and log in, but 'Startx' was not succesful, the server gave up trying to open a desktop. 'llightdm' was an unknown command to the terminal.
What steps should I use to get the distro again 'on it's feet'?

Hi All,
I created a small image of Debian Buster/Sid PPC64 today. I recommend to use it if you have any problems with Adrian's ISOs. Please increase the partition with GParted after you copied the image to an empty partition. I had to decrease the partition a little bit and after that I was able to increase the partition.
Download:
debian-9.0-ppc64.img
root (password "amigaone")
amigaone (password "amigaone")
First steps
- Configure your network device with dhclient
- Check the network device with ip a
- Update the package index with apt-get update
- Install Xorg with apt-get install xorg
- After that you could install the MATE desktop with apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras
- Then you could install a display manager for example "lightdm" with apt-get install lightdm
- Afterwards reboot your AmigaOne
Cheers,
Christian

Great! If you just have time, could you please put a partition image of it available at your site...?
PS. Is there a fresh Firefox version available for it?

Yes, I will create a partition image. The Firefox versions
86.0.1 and
78.12.0esr are available on Debian 11 PPC64 and work but all images in these Firefox versions itself and on the websites have wrong colors.
