Wondering if I can use debian backports in my sources list to get the latest v 2.0.18 of mosquitto - there’s been quite a few revisions since the last official bookworm release - 2.0.11 ?

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t provide enough info - running on Pi Zero W (armhf packages).
So the note below where you link to says ‘Current builds are not ARMv6 compatible’

- Bug report ID | 2ba09c0d-c9e4-4d04-afac-433f5ef396a4
#### Steps to reproduce:
1. Fresh install of DietPi on Pi Zero
2. Attempt to install Mosquitto (Was trying to install Home Assistant but this is the failing software dependency)
#### Expected behaviour:
- Mosquitto should install and run.
#### Actual behaviour:
- Mosquitto installs but fails to run. See command session below, full details lower down:
- root@pi:~# /usr/sbin/mosquitto
**Illegal instruction**
#### Extra details:
- After initial install failed I tried to disable the dietpi repo and re-ran:
```
root@pi:~# apt purge mosquitto mosquitto-clients
root@pi:~# vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dietpi-mosquitto.list # comment out dietpi repo
root@pi:~# apt update
root@pi:~# apt autoremove
# removes libmosquitto1 <- I think this was my problem trying to install older mosquitto...
root@pi:~# apt --fix-broken install mosquitto
```
WORKED!!

Debian -- Details of package mosquitto in bookworm - offers 2.0.11Debian -- Details of package mosquitto in bookworm-backports - offers 2.0.18
For RPi Zero W (ARMv6), Raspbian is/needs to be used instead of Debian. And Raspbian has no backports repository. So for a more recent Mosquitto, one needs to do an own source build.
Their own APT repo supports ARMv7 and x86_64 only … ah, it does not help you, but I see just last month, for Bookworm, ARMv8/arm64 support has been added: Index of /debian/dists/bookworm/
