Which distro - are you still using Debian?
If not, we can't really help you. Although many of us have run other
distributions in the past, all of the Debian/Ubuntu derivatives do
something slightly different - we can only really help with generic
Debian things. If we offer help with any other distribution, it's
only ever best efforts - Debian derivatives have their own support
infrastructure.

It may not be relevant but the chef and chef-zero packages in Buster appear
to no longer be packaged in Bullseye - the upcoming release due in two weeks.
