I have been trying unsuccessfully to get hitch to run on a Debian 10 
based VPS.

● hitch.service - Hitch TLS unwrapping daemon
    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/hitch.service; enabled; vendor 
preset: enabled)

The packages are being pulled from the repository 
https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish60lts/ubuntu trusty main

Is there anything that can be done to get hitch working?
