Hi,

I am new to linux and kernel development. I am using beagle bone black rev C as target. I compiled linux kernel version 5.10.168 for target. I would like to use strace on my embedded HW.
When i issue command strace -V i get the following respones.
-bash: strace: command not found
When i try to install strace using sudo get-apt install strace i get the following.
E: package strace has no installation candidate.
I would appreciate any help to solve the issue.

Regards and thanks in advance

Are you able to connect to the package server?

$sudo apt update

If that works, then

$apt-cache search strace*

Thanks and Best Regards,

Debian stretch has been eol for awhile, debian moved their package archive. Hence why you can not access it as-is.

Install the IoT flasher image, it works fine and strace will install. It is also on the 5.10.168 kernel. It almost looks like you bumped the kernel up and the apt system is still on the old settings.
