When replacing bullseye with buster, not all entries in source.list are valid, anymore
The details escape me, but when the installer was processing source.list it just ended. No error message. As I have never run the installer before, I thought the installation was complete, but it was not.
The take-away, you need a complete and correct source.list file.
By the way, the only problem on Debian 10 is mplayer messing up the mouse pointer. My work-around is this alias
Code:
alias mplayer='(sleep 2; xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr) & /usr/bin/mplayer'xsetroot regenerates the mouse pointer (after 2 seconds).
I don't think it should matter as Debian 10 is pretty mature, but my desktop environment is Mate and things simply work.
