To work around this issue, we describe two options: + +1. You may add the Debian Testing repository to your APT sources as described [here](https://serverfault.com/a/382101) and install the newer `dwarves` package as follows: +```shell +apt install -t testing dwarves +``` +2. Alternatively, you may [download](https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/dwarves) the newer `dwarves` (>= 1.16) package from the Debian website and install the package manually, for example: +```shell +wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dwarves-dfsg/dwarves_1.17-1_amd64.deb +apt install ./dwarves_1.17-1_amd64.deb +``` #### Obtaining the source ```bash
