 Summary (this date) - Debian Stretch (test, as there is no non-test Debian
Stretch in the repository):
(1) mindi won't install, there is no mindi. (There is a mindi-busybox)
(2) mondo won't install for lack of mindi.
(3) libmondorescue-perl won't install for lack of libprojectbuilder-perl
(4) libprojectbuilder-perl won't install for BADSIG

installs.]

# apt-get install mindi

Package mindi is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
 mindi-busybox
[Thus the mindi-busybox (attempt), above.]

[mondo-doc installs fine, mondo-dbgsym breaks for lack of mondo.

Given ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/debian/9/pb.sources.list , despite add-apt
pb.pubkey from same directory:
# apt-get update
...
W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.project-builder.org//debian 9 Release: The
following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 6BA8C2D220EBFB0E
Bruno Cornec (FLOSS & Early Music) <[email protected]>
W: The repository 'ftp://ftp.project-builder.org//debian 9 Release' is not
signed.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore
potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration
details.

Note, without the elsewhere mentioned [arch=amd64] additions to the
sources.list files, also get:
E: Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.project-builder.org//debian/dists/9/InRelease
 Unable to find expected entry 'contrib/binary-i38
6/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.

Finally:
# apt-get install mondo

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mondo : Depends: mindi (>= 3.2.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[Mindi won't install, per above.]


Suggestions towards a successful Debian Stretch mondo install?

Tx.
