How do I upgrade from Debian stable to Debain testing?

By following the instructions available on the Debian web site (1)!

In a nutshell, change 'buster/stable' to 'bullseye/unstable' in
/etc/apt/sources.list'.:


Should have been 'testing' and not 'unstable'.

Not totally true though. There have been a few changes.
So if you just replace buster with bullseye it might not work.


Here is an example of an working bullseye sources.list


# testing

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free

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

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



In addition to Henning Follmann <hfollmann@itcfollmann.com>'s answer:

On buster the '/etc/apt/sources.list' file might look like:

"deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main

# buster-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main"

And on Bullseye:

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

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


Mind the security lines!
