First things first - check your /etc/apt/sources.list It's probably a good idea to change anything that says "testing" to something that says bullseye right now- that way, when Bullseye gets released (possibly within the month) you won't end up with a huge churn as Testing points to Bookworm and begins another two years of churn. To clarify, what you probably need is somethin close to this # deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free contrib deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib non-free # bullseye-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free # This system was installed using small removable media # (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom" # entries were disabled at the end of the installation process. # For information about how to configure apt package sources, # see the sources.list(5) manual. Current Ubuntu - 21.04 - will probably have been based on a mixture of Debian unstable/testing. To be honest - always take Debian native packages if you can: you really don't want to be mixing things and creating a FrankenDebian. Hope this helps, Andy C.
