It should be in Debian 13 what repositories do you have configured for debian?

Synaptic Package Manager > Settings > Repositories

 

Note: I don't have Debian 13 installed anywhere to test.

Now try to install MesaCT.

First off, I'm not a computer expert. I've followed all the steps on the website step by step. I've attached a few screenshots. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

We already tried that yesterday. But then a new error message appears:

available from another source

Error: Package 'python3-distro' has no installation candidate

I don't see any Debian repositories how did you install the OS?

I'm downloading Debian 13 and installing that on  SSD for testing.

there is the package "python3-distro" in Trixie.
But you have to configure the sources correct.

A friend of mine helped me and adjusted the source.list accordingly. Now the Mesa Configuration Tool works.
