MATLAB: Licence Manager under Debian Buster (10.0)

linuxMATLAB

Hi,
We're trying to install a new licence server on Debian Buster (10.0) wich is out since the begining of july.
The installation process went just fine, but there seem to be a problem.
The lsb package 'lsb-compat' is no more available in the debian repository.
I have installed lsb-release and lsb-base packages, but I can't start the licence server :
Checking license file for local hostname and local hostid . . .
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2019a/etc/lmhostid: 332: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2019a/etc/lmhostid: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2019a/etc/glnxa64/lmhostid: not found
Error: Your hostname matches the hostname on a SERVER line in
your license file but the lmhostid in that line does not.
Your local lmhostid(s) are:
Your hostname is: malak
The SERVER line in question is:
-----------------------------------------------
SERVER xxxxx 001122334455 27000
-----------------------------------------------
Please stop, fix the problem, and try again . . .
Continue to start up license manager? y/[n]) n
Is there anything that can be done ?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,
for the moment just create the needed symlink manually:
root@test17[lib64]# pwd
/lib64
root@test17[lib64]# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 May 1 19:24 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so
root@test17[lib64]# /tmp/nfs-odenbach/users/o/odenbach/data/bin/lmutil
-bash: /tmp/nfs-odenbach/users/o/odenbach/data/bin/lmutil: No such file or directory
