As others already guessed, the problem is that you have the bullseye-security repository listed, but *not* the main bullseye repository. You should add that. Typically you'd use this line: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main Add " contrib non-free" to it if you require firmware/microcode or other packages from non-free on your system. The commented-out bullseye-updates repository is optional. You can add that if you want. It gives you early access to packages that will be in the next point release, which aren't security updates.
