IIRC something similar happened back when Stretch became oldstable prior to Buster. Theres an option that is something like below that I think we used to allow apt-get update to succeed on the oldstable Stretch. YMMV.

--allow-releaseinfo-change

Hi Tim, what should be the syntax of the get update now ?. Sorry for the noob question

You could try....

Code:

sudo apt update --allow-releaseinfo-change

That is what I would do....but then I don't mind breakage and have backups.... ymmv

it will work or it won't...
If it works then fine..
if it doesn't then it will spit an error message...and you will know a little more about linux... :-)

Here...I have tried it for you...:-)

Code:

note from the output above the line shown below....

select Y and enter


or if that does not work then try as I suggested...

Code:

sudo apt update --allow-releaseinfo-change

Code:

pi@argonone:~ $ sudo apt update --allow-releaseinfo-change

All done :-)
Results seem to be the same for both so once you run either 'update' then you should be able to access the package you want.... try the first first and if that doesn't work and you are bold then try the second..
cheers Bob...
