changes on Buster package repositories..

[MrBW]

I get this message when updating local apt cache:

Get:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease [39.1 kB]
Get:2 http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian buster InRelease [118 kB]
Reading package lists... Done

What should I do? Running Buster

It seem you have to execute the following command to allow the new changes:

Code: Select all

apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change

What could help is the output of this:

Code: Select all

grep -Ev "#|^$" /etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

grep -Ev "#|^$" /etc/apt/sources.list

That would miss any repositories in the sources.list.d directory and also leave out any lines that have a comment in them that is not at the beginning (some people comment-out contrib & non-free, for example).

Better version:

Code: Select all

grep -v '^#\|^$' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}

But the problem here is as described in MrBW's link. We had a thread about it here as well but I can't find it.
