Funny you should bring this up now: Just yesterday I stumbled upon this
article by Thomas Kaiser about reviving netatalk 2.x on a Debian
derivative:
https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/Knowledge/blob/master/articles/Netatalk_2.2_on_Ubuntu_Focal_Fossa.md
When I read that article, I wondered a) why Thomas didn't reach to the
author of the Debian netatalk package like you now did, and b) if it
really was needed to totally ditch the package and instead build from
upstream source as he did.
I would suggest to first try install the most recent official Debian
build of Netatalk 2.x: https://snapshot.debian.org/binary/netatalk/
(If you don't actually use Debian but Raspbian or Armbian then it might
still work to use the above package...)
If you not only need AppleTalk but also the DHX UAM (required for
ancient Mac hardware that cannot run recent enough MacOS with support
for DHX2), then you will need to rebuild from source to link with
OpenSSL, as documented here:
https://salsa.debian.org/netatalk-team/netatalk/-/blob/debian/2.2.6-3/debian/README.source
Please do share here, whether or not you succeed at using the older
Debian package - as-is or rebuilt.
Alternatively, you could try follow the guide from Thomas Kaiser (but
unless you need DHX as described above, you should not need to mess with
applying OpenSSL patches, but can instead _avoid_ that linkages).
Kind regards,
- Jonas
