Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'https://deb.debian.org/debian jessie-backports

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is
therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user
configuration details.
a test run inside an app vm (with direct sys-firewall access, to avoid
tor-related false errors) does confirm your observation for me. Is this
qubes-related or debian-related ? If the second one applies, we discuss
it in the wrong mailing list :)
It's not a Qubes issue.
jessie-backports was deprecated since June last year. The Release file
signing expired last month and it was removed from mirrors last week.
The packages can still be found at archive.debian.org, and you can
change your sources list to use this, but the Release file is still
expired.
You can work round this by getting a new copy of the signing key (if you
can) and updating with apt-key.
so do I need ?
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
( I don't even know what it is, I'm guessing it is the default
/etc/apt/sources.list
so maybe I missed a memo? )
if not then just #comment it out and problem solved ?
As we just learned, Unman is quite busy (thank you unman!). What I would
do, is to try it out in an AppVM : comment it out and run apt-get update
and then apt-get upgrade. If somethings messes, just shutdown the
AppVM (thereby taking all the mess into nirvana) : thats a short play
coming with no risk! If upgrading without that line works easily (I
guess so), do the same in the template. Bernhard

Sorry I don't see the point of doing it in an AppVM, myself. I
understand you think it might brake the package list, but I can always
just comment it back in and apt-get update, in my case Debian-9 is
not my main Template ......though it seems from reading here recently
maybe it should be .... ? :)
My question is , If this is the default /sources.list and users
don't regularly go and change their sources.list isn't this going
to break on everyone's systems and hence some attention should
be paid to it.
This posting is meant for the group, not any one user , be it Mr.
Unman or anyone
My 2nd question is simply what is backports anyway , and what would be
a suggested fix if #commenting it out ...... isn't a great idea ?
