Why does this keep happening to me?
When I recently reinstalled Qubes, I updated debian 10 without issues. Then suddenly today I get the following error. How can I securely update without doing some – ignore flag that may cause security issues or install something bad?
These are the errors.
debian-10: ID: update
Funtion: pkg.uptodate
Result: False
Comment: E: Repository 'https://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'stable' to 'oldstable'

As a test I cloned the template and did a sudo apt update directly in the vm. It worked but “explicitly accepting” is this compromising the template or exposing me to potentially compromised packages?
