Proxmox-Backup-Client Debian Bullseye Support

[entr0py]

Hi, I was wondering if there's plans to include support for the client on debian bullseye? I'm attempting to install the client on my laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 (Debian Bullseye) but run into the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 proxmox-backup-client : Depends: libapt-pkg5.0 (>= 0.8.0) but it is not installable

From what I can tell, Ubuntu 20.04 has libapt-pkg6.0 installed which is preventing libapt-pkg5.0 from being installed (though I'd imagine having both installed would most likely cause issues). This was confirmed through the following:

$ dpkg -l | grep libapt-pkg
ii  libapt-pkg6.0:amd64        2.0.2ubuntu0.1        amd64        package management runtime library

Debian Bullseye and Ubuntu 20.04 are not the same thing. making the client easily available for more distros is on our roadmap, but not the highest priority.

Hi,

we worked around some linking/dependency issues and with version 1.0.8 the dependencies required got reduced, so that it now installs on Bullseye, Ubuntu 20.xy versions and possible other Debian derivatives just fine.

wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/buster/pvetest/binary-amd64/proxmox-backup-client_1.0.8-1_amd64.deb

# checksum verification
sha256sum proxmox-backup-client_1.0.8-1_amd64.deb

apt update
apt install ./proxmox-backup-client_1.0.8-1_amd64.deb

This is excellent news, I'll be trying it out asap.
Thank you for all the hard work you guys have put into making proxmox amazing.
