#230288 — Problems with kept back packages

I have no idea how to solve this problem: I installed a Debian 10 in my 
computer. The GPU was only supported with linux 5.8 so I updated to 
bullseye. I don't know how to configure correctly the sources.list file 
so I just changed all the 'buster' for 'bullseye' and it upgraded well 
(but the Debian-security failed I don't know why. It would be 
interesting if someone helps me with that). I rebooted to use the last 
kernel an the GPU controllers worked this time. But, the serverx (I 
installed GNOME) didn't work. I tried to upgrade and... More than 500 
packages were kept back... I am using bullseye so I don't think I have a 
deprecated version. But  don't know how to configure the sources... 
Could someone send me a configuration for the last bullseye system?
Thanks in advance.
Happy hacking!

Recently? If so, you might be best off by reinstalling 10 from scratch.

You might be better off installing 5.8 from buster-backports.

Because there is no security support for testing.

It doesn't sound as if you're familiar enough with Debian to be able
to comfortably run a testing system.

My apologies in advance if I've misinterpreted the question and thus
am about to waste space. :)

When I bumped from Buster to Bullseye, it took "a few seconds" of
digging to figure out why the previous security repository
declarations failed. I now have this in my user CHOICE of a
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources file:

Types: deb deb-src
URIs: http://security.debian.org/debian-security
Suites: bullseye-security
Components: main contrib non-free

It has been so long since I used the /etc/apt/sources.list file method
that it just now took "a few more seconds" to fall back into it, After
multiple stabs at it, this FINALLY worked correctly *for me*:

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security
main contrib non-free

That's all based on going back to packages.debian.org to refresh my
brain that I had stable, testing, and unstable all assigned to the
proper project names (Buster, Bullseye, and Sid, respectively).

I don't follow testing, so the existence of
http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/bullseye-security/
was of interest. I would attach its Release file, but it's a
42k waste of bandwidth for list members, so here's a command
for taking a look:

$ wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/bullseye-security/Release

The Release file consists mainly of the well-known string
e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
as would be generated by   sha256sum /dev/null.

Cheers,
David.

Yea, I realized and just commented that line
Now I am in an unstable version :)
I just want my GPU to work... But now I generate other problem...
I wrote twice a line in the sources.list and now 'apt upgrade' gives a 
problem because some files are twice configured in 'sources.list'. I 
fixed the bad lines but the problem didn't solve. How do I fix this 
little problem?

As I said above, now I made a bigger problem... I am not familiar enough 
to Debian, but I need some components working and they are not available 
on Debian 10 (I need the 5.8 kernel for the GPU and some packages in 
testing to use the touchpad).

Happy hacking
