Hi,

I am trying to install mopidy on a Raspberry Pi with OS Raspbian 10 (buster). Following exactly the instructions as reported on the documentation pages I incurred in an error upon apt installing mopidy, which told me that python3-pykka (\>=2.0.1) would not be installed. I tried with both pip installing pykka for python2 and python3, without anything changing in the error message, then I tried with apt installing python3-pykka, and I apparently got a lower version of it, for now it says:

> python3-pykka (\>=2.0.1) but 1.2.1-4 is to be installed

I have no clue on how to solve this, could anyone help me?

Our docs state Debian 11 or newer is required. Debian 10 is end of life and has not received any security patches since June, you should upgrade your OS.
