Experienced users will know what to do and be able to edit a previous debian.list, but ppeople new to Debian will be at a loss how to install anything. Seems this has to do with a change: "With Debian 13 (Trixie), APT now uses the deb822 format for managing sources, replacing the old /etc/apt/sources.list. This change improves readability, modularity, and security. Instead of a single line per repo, sources are now structured with key-value pairs in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources." source: https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1ij82ce/debian_13_trixie_introduced_deb822_heres_what_you/ Also seems synaptic does not (yet?) use the new format. From what I rad apt should, but I can't test it. I don't yet understand what it means - I'm waiting for MX 25 to come out and I'll see how it is there. In the mean time it means one should keep a copy of one's *.list files before installing Trixie. One of the reasons why - as far as possible - I usually install a computer with two systems, so that I only move to the new system when I know it's working, and can fall back to the old one if necessary (Like the Japanese, who build a new temple while using the old one...). ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
