I had luck following the version-pinning instructions on zfsonlinux's Github page with Debian instructions.
Original link here: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Debian And in case that changes or disappears: # vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/buster-backports.list deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib # vi /etc/apt/preferences.d/90_zfs Package: libnvpair1linux libuutil1linux libzfs2linux libzpool2linux spl-dkms zfs-dkms zfs-test zfsutils-linux zfsutils-linux-dev zfs-zed Pin: release n=buster-backports Pin-Priority: 990 apt update && apt install -yes dpkg-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-image-amd64 && apt-get install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux And finally, during the install, it will still bomb out trying to process zfs-zed and zfsutils-linux. You can get around this by modprobe zfs, then apt install -f.
