[Aptitude-devel] Bug#931543: aptitude: sources.list configured for buster block update because stable changed

[Michael Becker]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.11-7
Severity: normal

After release of Debian 10 there were two problems with updates on my servers:

sources.list configured for buster refused to update, because of suite change
sources.list configured for stable performed update without a hint to the suite change

for the first one I had to reconfigure to stable, run an update, reconfigure to buster and run the update again
the latter one is a misconfiguration of mine, but should result in a warning
