sources.list.d is empty unless you add extra repos to it. This is the default sources except deb-src lines are commented out, not needed unless you compile stuff.

Code: Select all

You have two sources of security updates - I don't know if this is going to cause problems.

One is also truncated (unless this was a cut and paste error):

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-f>
I would suggest going with this one, as it is the source recommended at https://www.debian.org/security/

Code: Select all

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
I have no idea why Debian.org and very knowledgable forum members are recommending two different sources for security updates, but I suspect having both in sources.list might cause problems.

Sunrat,

From your example my system is like it was on a fresh install(my n00b brain tells me it's better), but from the Debian wiki it disables the the security updates (bullseye-security) under updates in "Software & Updates".

What does

If APT is successfully checking one security source it should say:

Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates InRelease

If you enable two security sources it will check both:

Sorry, I don't know what "Software & Updates" is. Maybe a Gnome thing? I don't use Gnome. In Synaptic one can look in "Settings > Repositories".
Do you have inxi installed? Very handy hardware info utility. Install it and show us

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
In the one I posted, the deb-src lines are commented out as I don't compile software from the repo, and non-free is removed from security as the security team don't generally do non-free. What Frank just posted above while I was writing will also show repo info.

Help me understand something about a repo like this bellow:

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

The fact that it is "non-free" does it mean it is exclusively "non-free", or the fact that its written "main" and "contrib" those other two are included too?

1 and 3 are the same thing, but a different source, so choose one and disable the other, or you will be wasting time and resources, both yours and the Debian server's.

The security repository source should have no effect on automatic updates. That is an unattended-upgrades thing.

Contrib is an addition to the main repository and non-free is an addition to main and contrib. Only the ones you specify are included.

Quick search found this nice explanation - https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... positories

I see your deb-src repos are still active. If you comment them out as in my suggestion above, your apt updates will go faster.

The correct security repo for Bullseye is http://security.debian.org - https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBullseye . Remove the other one. How did you manage to have both active? Seems you added everything posted above. Considering that "NewInBullseye" wiki link, that example sources in the wiki is incorrect (I'd guess it works and may even do so until Bookworm) but you definitely don't need both.

To have both active I activated the security updates (bullseye-security) under updates in "Software & Updates", in the gnome GUI software, because after adding it manually with sudo nano, it gets unchecked in the gnome repository GUI.
