Error during installation E: The repository ‘Index of /debian-security buster-security Release’ does not have a Release file.
Can someone help me in the right direction please ?
configuration:
RPI4 8gb
freedombox
Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Look like you are on bullseye but you still have an entry for buster-security. This should not have happened since FreedomBox should have updated the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list during the upgrade process.
So I can’t do anything for now? waiting for an update ?
i’m a beginner
My FreedomBox has completed the upgrade, @eboelens. Here is what my /etc/apt/sources.list contains now. Check your own file against this. @sunil is speaking about line #11. This file directs your FreedomBox to the right place to get updates. If you have something substantially different then your system may not be looking in the right place for new packages or updates to existing packages.

Please reload the page after resolving the issue.

Uh, oh. Sorry - I had line numbers in that so you could pick out line 11. We can fix that.
First: Confirm you are running bullseye by reading /etc/os-release. It should say bullseye, not buster. If that file tells you bullseye then carry on here. If it says buster then I can post a buster sources.list for you:
If you have your original file restore that and try this.:
Comment out the security lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then add ones like mine…
# deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib non-free
# deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
then from the command line try something like:
$apt update
That command should not complain with an error similar to what you see today. If that checks out then do:
$apt-get --fix-broken install
That will remove any partially installed packages which may have had a problem because of your sources.list problem.
Then try a manual update from the FreedomBox GUI. Then install MineTest from the GUI.
If you don’t have the original file, you need to take out the line numbers from that file where you did cut and paste. The lines should start with either # or deb. Once you do that do the apt update and apt-get --fix-broken install command as above, and then let FreedomBox try an update from the GUI.

Hi I have given up with rpi4 , my knowledge does not rich so much. I bought the pioneer freedombox. Anyway thanks for your comment which is always interesting.
I’m curious how you installed FreedomBox on the RPi4.
Did you install it on top of a Raspbian installation or use the arm64 image as described on this wiki page?
