Buster out of testing, update requires action

A. Dumas · 2019-07-11T13:33:22+00:00

I installed Buster 2 weeks ago and wanted to check for updates the other day but got an error: E: Repository ' buster InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'testing' to 'stable' N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details. Despite the reference it took me a while to figure out I needed to add this option, once is enough: $ sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update (then normal upgrade or dist-upgrade without the option). I later saw that some got an interactive prompt to accept the change but that wasn't the case for me.

I assume you mean 8Mb/s :)

Maybe it's one I did an apt remove on rather than an apt purge.

But I do, in the client and thus in system backups. Also in the last 14 years they haven't lost my mail.
