So I copied 'sources.list' from the server, which looks like: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free # deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports bullseye-backports main # deb-src http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ bullseye-backports main non-free contrib to my laptop. Now I get: root:~# apt-cache policy libpq5 libpq5: Installed: (none) Candidate: 13.9-0+deb11u1 Version table: 13.9-0+deb11u1 500 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages 13.7-0+deb11u1 500 500 http://security.debian.org bullseye-security/main amd64 Packages So the problem is with the original 'sources.list', namely # See https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList for more information. deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free 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 deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free I didn't change the URLs and only added the section 'main' and 'non-free', so how come this is broken just for me? Is it possible that the machine that 'deb.debian.org' resolves for me to just does not have the current point release? root:~# ping deb.debian.org PING debian.map.fastlydns.net (146.75.118.132) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 146.75.118.132 (146.75.118.132): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=44.3 ms ...
