Distribution Upgrade showing distribution not understood or mixed

Support
1

When I set the language to English and go to “Distribution update”, I see:

distribution-update
distribution-update950×476 59.3 KB

I installed Trixie and then installed freedombox manually.

This happens when contents of /etc/apt/sources.list are not understand. Could you please post the contents of the file? Ensure you remove comments. Change “stable” to “trixie”. Move sources other than official Debian to a separate files inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

There is no /etc/apt/sources.list, there are two files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d:

$ ls -la

We don’t yet have code in place to read the new style *.sources file. You can safely ignore this condition. You only need to worry about it for the next update to Forky in two years later. We will update the code soon to read these new files. Meanwhile, if you really want to see a better message in the Distribution Update page, then you can convert the debian.sources file into old style /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Thanks. It was during an “apt upgrade” operation that I had the automatic suggestion to run “modernize_sources” which resulted in this new format. I guess I can leave it this way then.
