Thanks, very helpful! I just upgraded to Debian 12 in a VM running on UTM on my M1 Macbook and all went perfectly.

I had a nonfirmware version that required to update/upgrade from DVD CDROM which was a pain. I followed your instructions and I was able to upgrade seamlessly.

Great job and Shout out.

@Tony,

The reason for including backports is because Debian is a rolling release distribution, which means that it is constantly being updated with new packages. This means that backports are often necessary to provide newer features or bug fixes to older Debian distributions.

I don’t think you need to include backports in repositories like they did in this example for some reason. That was a bit inconsistent as they did not have them in 11. Weird that…
