security.debian.org bullseye/updates Release does not have a Release file

[John Covici]

Hi. I did a apt-get update changing from buster to bullseye and got
the above message -- should I just wait a few days and try again or
something else?

Thanks.

bullseye/updates is not the location for bullseye's security repo.
Change the relevant line in your sources.list to:

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main

Add contrib and non-free at the end if you use them.

FYI, the Debian Handbook says that this was changed in Debian 11
Bullseye to avoid the confusion with codename-updates (e.g.
stable-updates, bullseye-updates):
