Hi Maxim,
Debian 11 (Bullseye) reached end of life on August 31, see this
announcment: https://www.debian.org/News/2026/20260831
As the news said, parf of the packages are available with ELTS,
you can read about ELTS here: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended
In the hope this helps,
I don't think the problem is that bullseye is EOL. The problem is that
it hasn't been fully / correctly archived.
This is:
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1147093
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1147150
Why is it still possible to 'apt-get update' on a bullseye system (with
the relevant Apt flag to ignore expired sources) but then fail to
actually download the packages? We really need to finish off the
archiving and remove the repo metadata from the CDN mirrors.
For example:
$ docker run --rm -it debian/eol:bullsey
Unable to find image 'debian/eol:bullseye' locally
bullseye: Pulling from debian/eol

This is what's broken.
