The repository 'https://sparkylinux.org/repo testing Release' no longer...

[blargh]

I have Sparky Linux on an old seldom used box and I am trying to update it this weekend. I get this message when I run apt update. It appears I am on Bullseye. I don't have much experience with upgrading distros but I did mange to correct the Debian testing/updates to testing-security.

The repository 'https://sparkylinux.org/repo testing Release' no longer has a Release file.

My Sparky sources show:

### sparky unstable repository
deb https://sparkylinux.org/repo/ unstable main
deb-src https://sparkylinux.org/repo/ unstable main

### sparky testing repository
### used as default by all sparky editions
deb https://sparkylinux.org/repo/ testing main
deb-src https://sparkylinux.org/repo/ testing main


How should I proceed?

Sparky repos changed a few months ago.
Follow Wiki to set the present one:

Ah yes, I see now that lsb_release -a says (po-tolo) so I can use one of those repos. I got hung up with codename bullseye.

That helped somewhat but now I have a version issue.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnustep-base-runtime : Depends: gnustep-base-common (= 1.27.0-3) but 1.26.0-6 is to be installed
libgnustep-base1.27 : Depends: gnustep-base-common (= 1.27.0-3) but 1.26.0-6 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Right, so I solved it by removing the problematic package, then upgrading everything, and afterwards install gnustep-common (or whatever) again.
