    I am very happy with my Tinkerboard 2.  I look forward to the availability of Linaro Debian Bullseye in the not-too-distant future.

    My favorite feature of the Tinkerboard 2 is the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port which offers OTG functionality and DisplayPort Alt Mode.  The cable cleanup from consolidating HDMI, power and touchscreen input into a single, thin cable is very much appreciated.

    In the past I had posted my hope to see the same port on a Raspberry Pi but the forum moderators there were scathing in their rebuke of my comments, accusing me of subverting their forum for my personal benefit !!  https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=1850823#p1850823

    The Asus Tinkerboard 2 is a rather remarkable alternative to the Raspberry Pi in another very important regard; Tinkerboard relies on Linaro https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/linaro and uses Linaro's emphasis on a more comprehensive and wide-ranging approach to Linux on ARM to Tinkerboard's advantage.

    To put it another way, the Tinkerboard and Linaro represent a truly open approach to the future of computing, and a very welcomed embrace of the most advanced developments in hardware design.  I am grateful to Asus-Tinkerboard for its efforts and its offerings.

    Joe;

    Thank you for your reply.  Yes, directing the repositories to sid (Debian Unstable) is the correct thing to do.  /etc/apt/sources.list is the correct filepath, however, is it not ?  The packages in Debian Unstable are actually quite good, I have learned.

    In the first 'Accept this solution', you indicate that I should reply 'n', but I would mention that this would install libcurlpp-dev and the package I am seeking, libcurlpp0{a}. 

    In the second 'Accept this solution', you indicate that I should reply 'y', but this  does not indicate that any action will be taken to install libcurlpp0.

    Would you mind explaining why I should reject the first solution and accept the second solution?

    I want to again mention that your response to my earlier question was correct and had the effect I sought.  I am very grateful to you for this and look forward to your explanation to my latest questions.
