First things first - check your /etc/apt/sources.list
It's probably a good idea to change anything that says "testing" to
something that says bullseye right now- that way, when Bullseye gets released
(possibly within the month) you won't end up with a huge churn as
Testing points to Bookworm and begins another two years of churn.
To clarify, what you probably need is somethin close to this
#
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib non-free
# bullseye-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

Current Ubuntu - 21.04 - will probably have been based on a mixture of
Debian unstable/testing.
To be honest - always take Debian native packages if you can: you really
don't want to be mixing things and creating a FrankenDebian.
Hope this helps,
