I have been running BBB networking for some time using a netmask of 255.255.255.0; I now have to expand the network
to 500 hosts, so I changed the mask to 255.255.254.0 to give a network at 192.168.0.0/23. I edited /etc/network/interfaces,
but that seems to change nothing as per following; blessed connman is NOT running:
Rebooted and swapped routers (only one has the new network on it).
I’m getting the feeling that Debian lost control here and needs connman. But I can’t upgrade, so now I have to change
horses in midstream because the old images can’t support a netmask other than /24; not a problem if you are fooling
around in the lab, but once you have installed embedded systems in the field … geez this sort of thing burns me up.
To the best of my knowledge, "aptitude" is just a front-end using apt
in the background to perform actions. At the best, it is still using the
same package database.
A cut&paste of the actual failure messages would have been of help...
{An hour later, after formatting and writing the 10.3 image to an SD card}
No apparent problems on a fresh 10.3 Buster image.

Off-hand, that appears to be a problem in your network configuration
(do you have a network connection? Note that unless one fiddles with
"internet connection sharing" on the host computer, the USB access will not
work -- you'll need an actual ethernet cable connected to a router)
root@beaglebone:~/evseclient/compilec# gcc -o gcctest gcctest.c

pclose

The problems get even weirder, with this sort of thing:

^~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question: is there a way to add some older gcc’s to the etc/apt/soures.list so I can find something that I can use?

I'd look at lines preceding that one for some undetected error (missing
; maybe).
