The new, upcoming Sparky 9 code name and repos is set.
The code name is “Tiamat”, and the new repos is “tiamat”.
The upcoming Sparky 9, now testing/semi-rolling is based on Debian testing “Forky”.
If you would like to keep Sparky rolling, means based on Debian testing, do:
1. change Debian repos from “trixie” to “forky” at the file:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources
2. change Debian Multimedia (if you use it) repos from “trixie” to “forky” at the file:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/unofficial-multimedia-packages.sources
3. change Sparky repos from “sisters” to “tiamat” at the file:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.sources
4. make dist upgrade:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
or just the short command (short of Sparky Upgrade):
spu
If any problem, before re-booting, launch:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt install -f
