In current bullseye image http://images.olimex.com/release/a64/A64-OLinuXino-bullseye-minimal-20211130-145129.img.7z , here is the content of /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
while, on a "regular" Debian system (installed with debian-installer), it is something like :

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

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main

# bullseye-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;
# see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_updates_and_backports
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main

Is it on purpose that bullseye-security and bullseye-updates repositories have been removed?

Aren't we missing at least some security updates without them?

Indeed, when editing sources.list from :
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
to:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

Some security updates are found :
$ apt list --upgradable

The /etc/apt/sources.list file content is still the same in latest image provided by Olimex: http://images.olimex.com/release/a64/A64-OLinuXino-bullseye-minimal-20220928-143706.img.7z

Has it been done on purpose by Olimex, or can we safely add the missing lines?

olimex

thanks for the feedback, the developers are notified, they will iinclude bullseye-updates and bullseye-security in the next release

mossroy

Thanks for your answer @olimex.

So I've added these lines manually in my running boards

Has there been a new release including this fix? I don't see any in http://images.olimex.com/release/a64/, where the latest image is still from September 2022...

mossroy

This is now finally fixed, thanks.

The "updates" and "security" debian repos are indeed included in /etc/apt/sources.list of latest image http://images.olimex.com/release/a64/A64-OLinuXino-bullseye-minimal-20230515-130040.img.7z
