Hello,  I am trying to install some software on a new system and get this error:
zeke at Debian-10:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i ./veeam-release* && apt-get update[sudo] password for zeke: Selecting previously unselected package veeam-release-deb.(Reading database ... 134594 files and directories currently installed.)Preparing to unpack .../veeam-release-deb_1.0.8_amd64.deb ...Unpacking veeam-release-deb (1.0.8) ...Setting up veeam-release-deb (1.0.8) ...Reading package lists...
