@seaurchin

Does that mean I have to reinstall Debian to get this?

Are you going to add it to the apt repos? That would be the ideal thing to do. Then people can just do an apt install.

I’m having the same issue on ubuntu focal; This package is not included on radxa’s apt repository, as it only contains the following packages:

… is there any plans to reinstate that package into the repo?

#9

I went ahead and did a further investigation creating this simple script:

#!/bin/bash
distros="bionic focal stretch buster"
releases="stable testing"
architectures="armhf arm64"
for distro in $distros; do
	for release in $releases; do
		for architecture in $architectures; do
			echo "looking in $architecture@$distro-$release... "
			curl -s https://apt.radxa.com/$distro-stable/dists/$distro/main/binary-$architecture/Packages |\
				grep "Package: rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest" | sed -e 's/^/\t/'
		done;
	done;
done;

… and that produced the following output:

looking in armhf@bionic-stable... 
	Package: rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest
looking in arm64@bionic-stable... 
	Package: rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest
looking in armhf@bionic-testing... 
	Package: rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest
looking in arm64@bionic-testing... 
	Package: rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest
looking in armhf@focal-stable... 
looking in arm64@focal-stable... 
looking in armhf@focal-testing... 
looking in arm64@focal-testing... 
looking in armhf@stretch-stable... 
looking in arm64@stretch-stable... 
looking in armhf@stretch-testing... 
looking in arm64@stretch-testing... 
looking in armhf@buster-stable... 
looking in arm64@buster-stable... 
looking in armhf@buster-testing... 
looking in arm64@buster-testing...

… i.e. this package is only available for bionic release; One could download the package and its dependency for that release and install it manually. Those files are located in:

https://apt.radxa.com/bionic-stable/pool/main/r/rockpi4b-rk-ubootimg/rockpi4b-rk-ubootimg_2017.09-2700-g70b4cfe057_all.deb
https://apt.radxa.com/bionic-stable/pool/main/r/rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest/rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest_2017.09-2700-g70b4cfe057_all.deb

I went ahead and did that. However, despite being the latest release on developer’s git, its over 1400 commits behind and it would be nice to have an updated version distributed to all repos, to facilitate the customers’ life.
