It makes perfect sense to me.  Thanks to all who responded and
the fix worked as previously stated.

apt(-get) is informing you that a configured repository has changed one 
of its values (in this case the 'Version', but could be any other 
field). This is to provide a safeguard against repositories changing 
values behind your back, possibly with security consequences.

Just imagine a malicious (or just incompetent) third-party repository 
suddenly claiming to be "buster-security" on a system configured to 
install security updates automatically.

Kind regards,
Andrei

You'll want "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "apt upgrade" or
"apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade", to pick up the new dependency
packages (there've been a few kernel ABI bumps, at least).

Nothing special has to be done here. Proceed with "apt-get upgrade".

Upgrading from Debian 9 to Debian 10 and seeing this required user to
run "apt update", not "apt-get update". But they've fixed it since then.
