Hi! I’m quite new to mender and I’ve been tasked with getting an IoT-gate-imx8 up and running with mender integration by any means.

After looking through the documentation it appears that the `mender-convert` utility is the way to go, and I have attempted to “menderify” an official debian image from compulab (debian bullseye arm64)

Upon running the mender-convert utility using the optional docker way like so: `MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME=release-1 ./docker-mender-convert \ --disk-image input/image/debian.iot-gate-imx8.live-img.xz \ --config configs/mender_convert_demo_config \ --overlay rootfs_overlay_demo`

It eventually fails with the following error:

```auto
[FATAL] [mender-convert-modify] Couldn't find package mender-auth in https://downloads.mender.io/repos/debian/dists/debian/bullseye/stable/main/binary-arm64/Packages

```

Any way to solve this? Or is this an issue on mender’s debian package repo?

Maybe I am a bit too late…

[edi-cl](https://github.com/lueschem/edi-cl) would allow you to combine the Compulab iot-gate-imx8 with Mender.
