Hmmm. Whatever you’re typing after “sed” is confusing the terminal. Can you point me to where you’re getting it from?
post #87
I have in my source.lists
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster non-free
When I run : sudo apt update
I get a connection failed error on these.
Do we have debian server problems?
What I guess, here within this thread, is that you are probably using another laptop (another PureOS based installation on another Macbook) and therefore people here need to know which WiFi chipset is inside your current device:
sudo lspci | grep -i wireless
And hope that solution to working WiFi on this device is just around corner, as it is for sure. But first, please remove: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster non-free line from this Macbook sources.list file.
As second, please download: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-ports-archive-keyring/debian-ports-archive-keyring_2020.02.02_all.deb package to some particular folder and install it from there:
sudo apt purge debian-ports-archive-keyring
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
sudo dpkg -i debian-ports-archive-keyring_2020.02.02_all.deb
As next, please read carefully this Debian instruction and download: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/isenkram/isenkram-cli_0.48_all.deb in order to (please be aware that this particular package includes few dependencies, yet automated install isn’t excluded for now, we don’t expect problem there):
sudo dpkg -i isenkram-cli
sudo isenkram-autoinstall-firmware
Please post isenkram-autoinstall-firmware output here, please share it with us. As related to above link, latest non-free firmware collection is, as well (You don’t need to use them), here: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/bullseye/20211009/. Working with above tips should be easy for you (even if I forgot something important), therefore please let us know how this newly added non-free functionality from Debian 11 Team worked for you.
Looks like you’ll need to remove gcc-8 and its dependencies, adjust few things:
sudo apt search libgcc-8-dev
sudo apt search libgcc-9-dev
Here is output of mine:
sudo apt search gcc-10
Sorting… Done
Full Text Search… Done
gcc-10/stable,now 10.2.1-6 amd64 [installed,automatic]
GNU C compiler
etc.
Solution might be: sudo apt purge gcc-8 or sudo apt purge gcc-9, please reread provided link in this post, but don’t see your related outputs. Provided link shows you some direction. I might only guess that you are using old PureOS Amber and therefore having some timestamp, sort of, issues.
sudo apt install gcc-10

gcc-10 is already the newest version (10.2.1-6).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Or just adjust accordingly your download repositories, if you are not already running PureOS 10 (Byzantium), down to buster non-free.
Sorry for confusion (if any) but I just don’t know which PureOS you are using there.
@Ralf, I just realized that you made upgrade to PureOS Byzantium yet never removed Amber repo(s). Please remove those from your sources.list:
Check if your install of PureOS 10 is now back on track:
sudo apt update
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
This would include removal of buster non-free (as above) repo, bullseye non-free stays unchanged … try now to install/add needed WiFi package(s).

Both of my MacBook Pros are alike. I can swap the hard drive and the other will run with the amber installation.
All I need for the new installation to run is the broadcom driver for the wireless card.
I did an installation two months ago and it worked fine.
This third installation is giving me fits. One reason is the connection trouble with the amber stuff.
The other reason is that I could not get the broadcom driver from the debian website last night either. There were connection issues to the site.
What do I need to do to get that broadcom driver installed this round?

Let me take few things from your post in order to explain:
sudo apt update - important one
sudo apt list --upgradable - informative one
Now you should not skip this important one:
sudo apt upgrade
The answer to sudo apt upgrade would be the same:
After apt upgrade finished please reboot your current Macbook (to the new Linux kernel, etc.):
sudo reboot
Afterwards:
sudo apt update - take a look if all packages already upgraded
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt full-upgrade - check if needed at all, if works now
This post describes prerequisite so I’ll make new post, repeat things about WiFi on PureOS Byzantium based install process when all successfully done (that hopefully will work). Thanks on your reply, all looks good!
Should be sudo reboot ?

Sure, of course. Thanks for correcting me! I’ll edit my post right away.

Next step, after successful completion of sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, etc. within my post #21 here:
Below outputs are from current Debian 11.1, but current PureOS related package repo confirms compatibility:
sudo apt list gcc-10-base
Listing… Done
gcc-10-base/stable,now 10.2.1-6 amd64 [installed]
sudo apt list libc6-dev -a
Listing… Done
libc6-dev/now 2.32-4 amd64 [installed,local]
libc6-dev/stable 2.31-13+deb11u2 amd64
If preferred or needed (for example somewhere else), you can do upgrade particular package like this:
sudo apt upgrade libc6-dev
Yes I understand but still let me take this opportunity and ask you to do us, actually current and future PureOS Byzantium users, a favor and forget for a second about installing specific non-free driver only, by using Debian 11 “bullseye” repository. Please take advantage of using automated process from Debian, that is based, added on top of your specific hardware (to make it work).
in order to:
sudo dpkg -i isenkram-cli_0.48_all.deb
sudo isenkram-autoinstall-firmware
sudo reboot - should result in being able to establish your local WiFi connection.
I did the update and got the 1450 packages again. autoremove did zero remove. But the full-upgrade did not work:
sudo apt update

I understand it is your computer, your decision, therefore if/when ready for PureOS Byzantium, complete above command by answering this question :

P.S. Today I’m on the road again, take care. Executing only: sudo apt upgrade will work as well. Upgrade is our key word.
On the first go around it asked me for the YES - NO and then upgraded a bunch of stuff. I came back, when the screen was dark. I got on and then rebooted.
Then I ran a second update and upgrade. Here are the results:

The wifi is still not working. Therefore I am concluding that the broadcom driver was not installed.
Can you try sudo apt full-upgrade ?
You’ll likely want sudo apt autoremove --purge to get rid of the ‘no longer required’ packages.

Here is a summary of my projects:
Early in 2020 I installed PureOS on my very first MacBook Pro. There is a thread on this forum about it. I figured out how to install PureOS from a CD, but we never got the wifi to work.
Through a third party (USB wifi manufacturer) I learned that the PureOS version I had installed had a faulty kernel. Through an update that was corrected and the wifi came to live.
During the September 2021 I installed a second MacBook with PureOS amber. I did the updates and through that received the broadcom driver via deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye non-free. And I got this Mac to work pretty quick.
Now I am doing a third installation on another MacBook Pro and having all the above issues. I could not updates from “amber” anymore. Therefore I tried “byzantium”, still having download issues.
I still have not been able to get the necessary boradcom driver for this installation.
The Mac is not at fault. I can swap hard drives and it runs fine on the older PureOS installation.

Can you maybe remove libgcc-8-dev and install it again after the upgrade, including any packages that it will remove with it that you require?
Usually -dev packages and related are not vital, and can be re-installed.
sudo apt remove libgcc-8-dev (or reply with the list of packages that it will remove if you have doubts).

I removed the libgcc-8-dev and did another autoremove as prompted in the terminal. Then I did update and upgrade and a bunch of stuff happened. I rebooted, still no wifi, did update and upgrade again, see below:

Looks like still a bunch hung up.
Can you try sudo apt full-upgrade ?
