Discard Knoppix 8.2 and accept 8.6?

[rajibando]

In the middle the release Repository List has changed.
Now:
stretch→ oldstable
Buster→ stable
bullseye→ testing
sid→ unstable
experimental

So should I restructure the repository list?

I tried to update/Reload Synaptic package Informaiton.

Report:
Could not download all repository indexes

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

The repository 'http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze Release' does not have a Release file.Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
Repository 'http://security.debian.org stable/updates InRelease' changed its 'Version' value from '9' to '10'Repository 'http://security.debian.org stable/updates InRelease' changed its 'Codename' value from 'stretch' to 'buster'This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.

See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.
Repository 'http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable-updates InRelease' changed its 'Codename' value from 'stretch-updates' to 'buster-updates'This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.
Repository 'http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian testing InRelease' changed its 'Codename' value from 'buster' to 'bullseye'

Important points to note: Repository value 9 to 10 / 9.4 to 10.1

Shall experiment and post result here.

The Easy Way: Discard Knoppix 8.2 and accept 8.6?

The Satisfying Way: Re-phrase the Apt repository list with oldstable 9.11.0 as the base.

[rajibando]

This is the sources.list for 8.2:

# Debian/Squeeze is the stable base for this installation
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ oldstable main contrib non-free  
deb http://security.debian.org/ oldstable/updates main contrib non-free  

# testing/unstable/experimental contain newer versions, but
# packages from there are not being installed by default, unless
# they came from there in the first place.

In the coming days, I shall post the modified sources.list.

The above sources.list has not been updated for a long time since squeeze.

The Chronology of Debian releases are:

... and the rest follows ...

/KNOPPIX/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00knoppix

has the correct mention:

 // Debian/stretch is the "stable" release in this version of KNOPPIX!

The following two binaries contain the string:
(1) srcpkgcache.bin

/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_Release....ftp.de.debian.org.....stable....9.4.....Debian....stretch..

(2) pkgcache.bin

/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_Release....ftp.de.debian.org.....stable....9.4.....Debian....stretch...

So it figures why 9.4 is the base stretch. Now to upgrade to 9.11.0, the final Stretch.

Need to find if similar binaries have the above string:

ftp.de.debian.org.....stable....9.4.....Debian....stretch

The directory /var/lib/apt/lists is found to have the following:
