It appears that the Berkeley repository does not have ARM64 packages for Debian.

Is there another location that has them or is there a workaround?

I would like to bring the BOINC app up to date.

Thanks for any help on this.

You could build from source? It is a bit of a learning curve but that is the route I would go down.

Why don't you just use your distro to download the Boinc client package?
