Updates for Debian 11 Bullseye

[rgbellotti]

Even though the OS is running fine, I did find it peculiar that there were no apt updates since I installed the OS on 9-28, and even then when I tried to update after a fresh install, apt said that everything was up to date. This is the first distro I've used (including other debian versions) that didn't update immediately after install, let alone not have any updates in over two weeks. Not that it's really an issue, but it has me wondering if something's wrong with my apt settings maybe? The readout in the terminal for sudo apt update is:

Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye InRelease
Hit:2 https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4/apt/bullseye pgadmin4 InRelease

Post your sources.lists

 

[rgbellotti]

this was all that was in my sources.list:

cat sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
# deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main

 

[rgbellotti]

I uncommented the last line in the sources.list to see if that was the issue, but no difference really, still says everything is up to date:

sudo apt update
Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye InRelease
Get:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main Sources [8,633 kB]
Hit:3 https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4/apt/bullseye pgadmin4 InRelease

If you are not interested in source code, comment out the deb-src lines with #. That should help.

Thanks I will look into that, I knew something didn't seem right, not sure why it installed that way though

You can also copy the source list from the live USB/Dvd disc used to install debian in the first place. If that's how you installed it.

sudo cp /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list

Then do sudo update
Good luck.
