Talk:Raspbian
I tried to follow this how-to but endend in several trouble
1. enabling backports: package tar (1.29b-1~bpo8+1) is broken / works not on raspbian 8.1 jessie
2. excluding tar from upgrade: lot of messages 'Illegal instruction' during upgrade; at the end any command lead to 'Illegal instruction' after power/down system does not boot, kernel panic
Without backports zoneminder 1.26 was installed from repo, it works after adding link for apache.
My hw: rpi Model B1 512 MB
2017-04-21 heredago Raspberry Pi 2 Model B I also cannot seem to get past this even when using this "aptitude hold tar"
Package 'tar' (tar (1.29b-1~bpo8+1)) seems to be broken. exclude tar from upgrade aptitude hold tar
Check to be sure everything is up to date for the raspbian distribution apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade
