Not long ago the priority of chimaera-backports was decreased. The problem is
that with 500 apt would automatically install everything from backports and
that is not a good idea at all. Ideally one would install only what they need
from backports by manual selection - it is not guaranteed that installing
everything from backports over stable will result in a working package
combination.

Generally recent apt version warn and refuse to continue without confirmation
in case some data in the repos changes. E.g. if you used stable that was
beowulf and you update after stable became chimaera, you would get a similar
warning. The idea is to avoid users unknowingly doing major changes...

Use "sudo apt update" and confirm on the prompt (should happen only once) or
see the answer from Ralph...

With best regards,
