Correct sources.list for Debian testing [solved]

[vinoman]

I just installed testing (Bullseye) and I've already messed up the sources.list.

Code: Select all

davek@debian:~$ su
Password: 
root@debian:/home/davek# apt update
Hit:1 http://debian.osuosl.org/debian bullseye InRelease
Ign:2 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates InRelease
Err:3 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 2a04:4e42:d::204 80]

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
root@debian:/home/davek# 

here's my sources.list

Code: Select all

  GNU nano 4.3                 /etc/apt/sources.list                            
# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bullseye_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD >

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bullseye_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD B>

deb http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free
deb-src http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free

# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib no>
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contri>

How should it look.

Code: Select all

 
deb http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
# deb-src http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib
# deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib

Security repo may not be available for some time.

Code: Select all

 
deb http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
# deb-src http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib
# deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib

Security repo may not be available for some time.

so can I rem those out?

What should a Bullseye sources.list look like?

[vinoman]

I changed the sources.list to this...

Code: Select all

# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bullseye_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD Binary-1 20190819-10:58]/ bullseye contrib main

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bullseye_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD Binary-1 20190819-10:58]/ bullseye contrib main

deb http://debian.ca-west.mirror.fullhost.com/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.ca-west.mirror.fullhost.com/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free

Installed Synaptic and found some faster repos.
Did update and upgrade and no errors. Is this look OK?

This is mine:

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.belnet.be/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.belnet.be/debian testing-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free

By using "testing" instead of "bullseye", you get a rolling release.
Replace "ftp.belnet.be" by a mirror in your vicinity.
If you're going to add the multimedia repo, you need to add a key:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver pgpkeys.eu 5C808C2B65558117; sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver pgpkeys.eu 07DC563D1F41B907

I think you do not need this line:

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.belnet.be/debian testing-updates main contrib non-free

see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting:

Code: Select all

To upgrade to testing from current stable, if you have already installed the stable release:

    Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file, changing 'stable' (or the current codename for stable) to 'testing' (or the current code name for the next stable release).

    Remove or comment out your stable security updates line(s) (anything with security.debian.org in it).
    Remove or comment out any other stable-specific lines, like *-backports or *-updates.

    Verify that your installation is not fixed to a specific release in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00default-release

The line with testing-updates works just fine, so I left it in.

Thank you. Got all the updates for testing now.
