I have been on Debian buster for more than a year while it was the Debian Testing. After a frozen period that lasted a few months, buster is the new stable Debian distribution since yesterday!

What does this change on my end? Not much! Basically, as I was already using buster in my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ file, when I used apt-get update I got the following message:

Reading package lists... Done

N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.

As explained on , all I had to do was:

1
$ apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change

I am gonna stick to Buster for a couple of months and I’ll switch to Debian 11 bullseye at the end of this year, or early 2020!
