I am still not sure what’s wrong. Sorry. Besides, I didn’t see what’s under /etc/apt . I don’t do our repos but @Joe does, he must have more insights about it. Although people with familiar issue mentioned that the following command would work:
apt-get update -y --allow-releaseinfo-change
However, I wouldn’t recommend just applying this command blindly and rather suggested to figure out what’s the real cause of these error messages.
Well, Webmin “forces” an update by listing the names of the packages to be installed explicitly.
Try zipping up and attach to this ticket /etc/apt directory. I haven’t seen this error before. It would be interesting to understand what’s causing it.
I don’t see how those errors can be accurate, though I did make some changes to how repos are handled in preparation for Virtualmin 7, and I rolled some new procmail-wrapper packages last night to all distro repos (which hasn’t happened in a long time for Ubuntu/Debian). But, our repos were never labeled with Origin Ubuntu or Label Ubuntu or Suite “focal-security”, etc. I don’t know how your apt would have become convinced of those things…doesn’t make sense.
All those fields are virtualmin-universal (this is just what aptly does when not given more details, apt repos are needlessly stupidly complex), and I’m pretty sure that’s always been the case for vm6 repos. Old repos were different, as I used different tools to manage them, and switching does result in some weirdness, but not like this.
Your errors make it look like you downloaded some Ubuntu repo metadata on the Virtualmin repo names somehow (or copied it in /var/lib/apt/lists). I honestly can’t imagine any reasonable scenario that gets your system to where it is.
Edit: I just checked an old repo that hasn’t been modified since 2020, long before any changes to how I’m managing the repos, and it also has the same metadata style (e.g. virtualmin-focal instead of all the Ubuntu labels), so it’s definitely your system and not our repos.
