Hi Bob,

What does your sources list say on the desktop?

What's the difference between laptop and desktop /etc/apt/sources.list files?

All the very best, as ever,

Hi Andy,

My mistake, I intended to include some comparison info and then ... :(

Both files look to "bookworm", nothing in either about "stable" or other names.

The desktop does not have references to deb-src repositories where the laptop does.

The desktop also references bookworm-backports where the laptop does not.

There are a few other diffs caused by different ordering of names or different dates or cdrom version.

Bob
