The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 10 “buster” support will reach its end-of-life on June 30, 2024, nearly five years after its initial release on July 6th, 2019.
Starting in July, Debian will not provide further security updates for Debian 10. A subset of “buster” packages will be supported by external parties. Detailed information can be found at Extended LTS.
The Debian LTS Team will prepare afterwards the transition to Debian 11 “bullseye”, the current oldstable release. Thanks to the combined effort of different teams including the Security Team, the Release Team, and the LTS Team, the Debian 11 life cycle will also encompass five years. To make the life cycle of Debian releases easier to follow, the related Debian teams have agreed on the following schedule: three years of regular support plus two years of Long Term Support. The LTS Team will take over support from the Security and the Release Teams on August 14, 2024, three years after the initial release on August 14, 2021. The final point update release for “bullseye” will be published soon after the final Debian 11 Security Advisory (DSA) will be issued.
Debian 11 will receive Long Term Support until August 31, 2026. The supported architectures remain amd64, i386, arm64 and armhf.
The case is: You switched to it before it was “old-old-stable” and haven’t updated.
Causes for this are likely:
“I forgot about that computer and now all of the repos are offline.” is also real.
Makes sense, thanks.
