Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'http://security.debian.org stable/updates Release'
does not have a Release file.
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.
The format has apparently changed as of Bullseye stable to be
stable-security instead of stable/updates
https://debian-handbook.info/browse/en-US/stable/apt.html#sect.apt-sources.list.testing
Changing the last line of sources.list to
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable-security main contrib
fixed the problem.
