As others already guessed, the problem is that you have the
bullseye-security repository listed, but *not* the main bullseye
repository.  You should add that.

Typically you'd use this line:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main

Add " contrib non-free" to it if you require firmware/microcode or
other packages from non-free on your system.

The commented-out bullseye-updates repository is optional.  You can add
that if you want.  It gives you early access to packages that will be
in the next point release, which aren't security updates.
