the latest version is v2.0.5 - debian is slow with stable builds so
buster doesn't include v2.0.5 with apt-get

you could install v2.0.5 from source on debian 10 (recommended) or
otherwise install debian bullseye (NOT recommended) but either of
these options won't help you recover your data

sorry i couldn't be of more help, can anyone else help recover data?
