The only thing I can see is that the instructions specify http, not https. https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/#index2h2 As you say, that should have produced an error when you tried it. Just for the halibut, try it as http. Or not. I'm not finding it either. root@hawk:~# apt update Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease Hit:2 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security InRelease Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease Hit:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports InRelease Ign:5 http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb stable InRelease Hit:6 http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb stable Release Reading package lists...
