Hi again,
so sorry to bother you kind people once more. It turns out I've got an
additional question regarding updates.
On https://www.debian.org/security/#keeping-secure under "Keeping your
Debian system secure" it says:
"You can use apt to easily get the latest security updates. This
requires a line such as deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security
buster/updates main contrib non-free
in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Then execute apt-get update &&
apt-get upgrade"
I looked up the respective file on my system and it looks like this:
1 #
2
3 # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.9.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64
xfce-CD Binary-1 20210327-10:42]/ buster main
4
5 #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.9.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64
xfce-CD Binary-1 20210327-10:42]/ buster main
6
7 deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main
8 deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main
9
10 deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
11 deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
12
13 # buster-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
14 deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main
15 deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main
16
17 # This system was installed using small removable media
18 # (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
19 # entries were disabled at the end of the installation process.
20 # For information about how to configure apt package sources,
21 # see the sources.list(5) manual.
From the advice given at the debian page (see above) I gather I have to
change the contents of line 10, right? As there's just "main" in it
right now I'd have to add "contrib" and "non-free" I think.
But what about line 11? Would I have to do the same there as well?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Many greetings.
Rosika
