Halo

I want to upgrade version to 5.1 I have read in this link

https://parrotsec.org/blog/2022-09-24-parrot-5.1-release-notes

Then I have followed the steps - steps are done. But there is a problem when doing backports. Here is an error message

sudo apt full-upgrade -t parrot-backports
Reading package lists… Done
E: The value ‘parrot-backports’ is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

Pict eror msg

Do I need to make any changes in sources.list? Then if “yes or need” what should I add there?

My parrot version

Thanks for reply. I’ve done this command sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade and it worked. But when I use this command sudo apt full-upgrade -t parrot-backports

I got an error message

E: The value ‘parrot-backports’ is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

I use this on the mirror

#Indonesian

deb https://kartolo.sby.datautama.net.id/parrot rolling main contrib non-free

deb https://kartolo.sby.datautama.net.id/parrot rolling-security main contrib non-free

All packages are up to date.

I’m not sure if this will solve the backports mirror, but I believe

sudo apt install parrot-core

may help.

In my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list I have

deb https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot-backports main contrib non-free

Solved! Thanks for answer

Here was already i did:

  1. Change the soruces.list

Added miror list at Mirrors | ParrotOS Documentation

Singapore

deb Index of /parrot/ parrot main contrib non-free
deb Index of /parrot/ rolling-security main contrib non-free

China

deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/parrot/ parrot main contrib non-free
deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/parrot/ rolling-security main contrib non-free

  1. Use root command sudo su

then run this command apt update && apt full-upgrade

  1. Waiting the process (it will take long)

  2. After finish

i run this apt install -f

  1. Neofecth result

Note:
Parrot makes changes in the sources list, changes the configuration in backports

##disable it if you prefer stability and reliability over bleeding edge features
deb Index of /parrot/ parrot-backports main contrib non-free

And something new, its same on parrot blog

Thank you

When i run it (apt update && apt full-upgrade) This command why there is no upgrade almost package and other already installed and upgraded. And there is problem on this command “sudo apt full-upgrade -t parrot-backports” message eror (E: The value ‘parrot-backports’ is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available) But i change sources.list use repo china and singapore there is package and upgraded. Does this happen because the repos from Indonesia (Datautama PT. Data Utama Dinamika) Are not updated?
