Hello Arnold,

buster is a Debian code name (obviously).  You have to let {your choice
of package manager} know which version of Debian you're using (again,
obvs).

Most people tend to use the code name for their preferred version of
Debian (buster, stretch, jessie, etc.), and when Debian is updated to a
new version, they perform a dist-upgrade.

Some of us (more reckless types) prefer to stay on testing, or sid
(unstable) and we use either 'testing' or 'sid' for version.  This
avoids the necessity for performing a dist-upgrade, but can have
unforeseen side-effects.  Using 'stable' for the example was a bad idea
on my part, and should be ignored.

I'll say no more on the subject here, because it's really already going
beyond the scope of the Gramps ML.
