I have just installed the latest release of Debian and discovered that
JPilot and pilot-link, both of which I use extensively, are no longer
in the Debian repositories. It seems that they are available
elsewhere, but when I try to install jpilot_2.0.1-1_amd64.deb from
www.jpilot.org I get "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libpisock9
(>= 0.12.5~)". The other downloadable files there say "Ubuntu". I do
Debian, not Ubuntu.
How can I install JPilot on Debian?
For now, I am going to revert to a computer that is still running the
previous version of Debian. I need my PDA tools!

Chris,
I'd search the web for pilot-link-0.12.5 (or greater). That's what's
installed here and jpilot works as it always has.
If you get only the source code run configure; make (as a user) then
make-install as root.
With pilot-link installed you should be able to install jpilot and run it.
Regards,
Rich

Debian stretch and buster use the same pilot-link version: 0.12.5-dfsg-2+b3.
Check this link: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/pilot-link for a list of downloads and
dependencies.
Buster is EOL ~2022-08, so the version should work with Bullseye.
In any case, bullseye is really fresh (!) out of the box (20211408) so maybe repository
updates are just delayed.

Debian stretch and buster use the same pilot-link version: 0.12.5-dfsg-2+b3.
The problem with pilot link on recent systems is that pilot-link is
Python2, and bullseye and newer only support Python3.
IF we can port it to Python3, I can get it back into Debian, and I
can also provide builds for all Debian versions since Jessie or so.
The problem is with the "port to Python3" ...

Sorry -- I forgot another proposal - we could drop the Python
integration and only get the library and tools from the package.
That should be possible even now.
I will look into it.

Norbert,
Python3 comes with 2to3. I've used it on some applications but not
pilot-link. I still have python2 here for those that need it.

The pilot-link packages on the jpilot page do not depend on python2. I
just took that part of the code out and did a quick job.

Yes, that is what I am going to do, too.
Do you have the changes/sources available, or is it hand made with
dpkg -x/-e ...
BTW, I get an error when running reautoconf and configure, syntax error
in the configure script. Very strange.

I used dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc. I can send you a tarball in email or
another way if you prefer.
I started with the code at: git@github.com:desrod/pilot-link.git
