Good afternoon Christian

I'm not sure why you aren't getting security updates. When I run # apt 
update on my Pi4, the first line of output is :

Get:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security 
InRelease [44.1 kB]

uname :
Linux rasp14 5.10.92-v8+ #1514 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 17 17:39:38 GMT 2022 
aarch64 GNU/Linux

Should there be more that I am missing?

Tim
Thanks for the link to Gunnar's image. My next project, well maybe the 
one after. Thanks
