How to keep my rolling release rolling?

[Member wildstar84]

As Debian has now switched to bookworm from bullseye, I get the following errors (and no longer get rolling updates.

Reading package lists… Done
E: Repository ‘http://deb.debian.org/debian testing InRelease’ changed its ‘Codename’ value from ‘bullseye’ to ‘bookworm’
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.

I waited & figured that Anti would soon give an official blessing to the changeover and release by releasing repository updates for the “testing” channel when he was ready and which would fix this, but so far nothing. Am I being impatient, or does this changeover require manually updating the repositories myself? (I don’t remember what happened or what I did when they went from buster to bullseye)

Thanks for your help.

From what I am reading, you just need to run
sudo apt update
which will ask you a y/n question if you want to allow the updates to come from the new testing repo.

You could also try
sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change

Thanks, andyprough, the last option seems to have fixed it!
