Today's set of updates are not present in the MIT repo. Specifically, these that are visible at Salt Lake: mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/mx,mx 20.03.04 all [upgradable from: 20.03.03] nomacs-l10n/mx,mx 3.14+dfsg-0.1~mx19+1 all [upgradable from: 3.12.0+dfsg-2] nomacs/mx 3.14+dfsg-0.1~mx19+1 amd64 [upg...

I'd keep it at Salt Lake.

The next time it says updates are available you could maybe temporarily switch over to MIT to see if it has the same updates.

Would you like me to mark this "solved", or wait until you know that the repos are syncing properly?

I'd wait until you've been able to do an upgrade successfully with MX Updater.

You might also disable or get rid of the 'debian-debug/ buster-debug' entry, it's certainly not a repo MX uses by default (never heard of it). I added that for some devo/debug pkgs a while ago - don't recall what they were. Is there a quick way to search installed pkgs to find which came from there...

I thought you did that already, post `inxi -r'

That was just sudo apt upgrade after sudo apt update after changing the MX repo to Salt Lake. Will probably have to wait until some more updates are available, restart MX Updater if you haven't already. One thing you might try is the 'Check for Updates' rightclick action, to see if the terminal win...

BTW: the 2 packages I needed that were out-of-date at MIT: Get:1 http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo buster/main amd64 apt-notifier all 20.03.14mx19+1 [130 kB] Get:2 http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo buster/main amd64 mx-greybird-themes all 20.03.01 [215 kB] What did you use for those updates? (Synaptic, apt-get, et...

I switched repos from MIT to Salt Lake, and sure enough: $ apt-cache policy apt-notifier apt-notifier: Installed: 20.03.01mx19+1 Candidate: 20.03.14mx19+1 Version table: 20.03.14mx19+1 500 500 http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo buster/main amd64 Packages 500 http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo buster/main i386 Packag...
