Going to out of internet range for the next 3 days.
So, to be continued....

Please show whole content without truncating/shortening of file  '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list', those warnings tell you that you probably have some lines doubled ("...is configured multiple times...")

It even states which lines are affected: They are lines 2 and 11!

Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

As edlin suggested the answer is in the warning messages:
Line 2 in my debian.list is:
deb      https://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

line 11 which I added at michaa7's suggestion is:
  deb       http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

With line 2 uncommented my firmware doesn't doesn't update.
However; after commenting out line 2 and uncommenting line line 11, my firmware updates correctly with a dist-upgrade.

Problem solved!

Thank you all for your help!

Do you understand why? If not, read line 2 and 11 again and again until you do.

Yes. Line 11 is a replacement for line 2 not a supplement.

michaa7

Sure, but did you understand why the line 2 repo didn't provide the firmware?

Presumably the word "firmware" in line 11 is significant.

However, I'm puzzled that I didn't need line 11 throughout the past 2 years of distribution upgrades.

michaa7

There was a change which moved non-free (proprietary) firmware out of non-free to the newly created subrepo non-free-firmware. So without this addition you lost those upgrades somewhen along the way ...

Quick question.
What should a proper clean siduction sources.list.d look like?
I notice that after reading this discussion today that I also have Trixie and Bookworm junk in my list.
Thus I figure I' d best get my house in order also!
Thank you, one never ceases to learn here. ;-)

What you *need* is:

debian.list (Whether or not a signed debian repo ist mandatory I don't know)
Quotedeb [ signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg] http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

extra.list
Quotedeb http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/siduction/extra unstable main

For all other repos there has to be a reason known to you (for example:  debian "testing" if you like/need to roll back a package).


What is necessary for siduction fixes:

fixes.list
Quotedeb http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
