At the moment it's running Debian Buster from the Buster Official Snapshot amd64 DVD Binary-1 20180604 DVD image, and apt is pulling from the buster contrib main non-free repo.
Mostly everything works except just 2 minor errors, 1 of which is because it has an AMD Radeon video card (only one I have unfortunately) which is necessary for OpenMediaVault's initial setup, after which it will be removed.
Now before you criticize me for creating a FrankenDebian I have 2 reasons:
1) it was far easier than compiling and back-porting the kernel as my only other PC is an ancient Windows 7 machine. I could not just install Stretch and upgrade through Debian as Ryzen is completely unsupported in the kernel on Stretch.
2) My Internet (ISP) and LAN (router) are both extremely suspect. In addition to my WAN connection dropping frequently, I believe that my router is overheating or otherwise malfunctioning. I'm moving in 3-6 months and will be getting a new router then but until then it's much easier to just deal with it. (yes, everything is hard-wired, and rebooted daily)
anyway it seems I broke libpsl5 and/or dpkg itself. When I try to interact with apt I get some errors:
