[clug] Debian Buster apt-get update

[Bob Edwards]

Hi all,

Started moving approx 180 servers from stretch to buster yesterday (and
some dev boxes a month or so ago) prior to the official release.

Now when I do "sudo apt-get update" (yes, welded to the commandline...),
I get:
N: Repository 'http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian buster InRelease' 
changed its 'Version' value from '' to '10.0'
E: Repository 'http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian buster InRelease' 
changed its 'Suite' value from 'testing' to 'stable'
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository 
can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.
E: Repository 'http://security.debian.org buster/updates InRelease' 
changed its 'Suite' value from 'testing' to 'stable'
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository 
can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.

Alas, man apt-secure is all but useless.

The correct solution (apparently) is:

sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update

which spits out some "N: " messages the first time and otherwise works
fine.

In case anyone else comes across this...

cheers,
Bob Edwards.
