Hi,
I often see the following message when updating debian based server packages : This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.
root@raspberrypi:~# apt-get update Get:1 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian buster InRelease [32.6 kB] Get:2 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease [15.0 kB] Reading package lists...

This message comes from the fact that there is already a new stable version of the operating system, and the one we are currently up to is already called “old-stable”.
Due to this error we cannot update the packages and 404 returns us.
The problem is solved by typing:
apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
That’s it!
