android-adb-tools missing?

#1 Post by mrkapqa »

Hello,

to connect my Tablet/Phone with the Internet over USB via Laptop/Desktop PC i use sometimes Gnirehtet;

now to use it Android ADB is needed,

and on the github page it is stated
On Debian-based distros, you can alternatively install the package android-tools-adb.
https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet


however, it seems, that on Debian itself, Anroid-tools-adb is missing.


Is the Info wrong, or why is it missing?
