I added the line
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ debian-backports main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list, ran apt update and got the error message
root@maria ~ apt update
Hit:1 ...
Ign:5 http://deb.debian.org/debian debian-backports InRelease
Err:7 http://deb.debian.org/debian debian-backports Release
404 Not Found [IP: 151.101.2.132 80]
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian debian-backports Release' does
not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore
disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration
details.
So when I go to "Synaptic -> Settings -> Preferences -> Distributions -> Prefer
versions from", I see no backports.
Should I add allow-insecure=yes or allow-downgrade-to-insecure=yes to
sources.list, or is there some better way?
