Re: Upgrade fails in Buster
1) Did you run update first?
2) What does your sources list and sources,list.d say?

Re: Upgrade fails in Buster
Testing is not a production-ready OS. You should use it only if you are an advanced Debian user, or have desire to test the next release.
Re: Upgrade fails in Buster
Probably irrelevant but worth mentioning there was a recent appstream bug preventing my updating/upgrading Buster.
Web searching led to this blog http://www.suramya.com/blog/2018/08/fix ... et-update/
that fixed the issue.
