Sparky Dist Upgrade script from 6 to 7 <SOLVED>

[rektal]

I have upgraded Sparky 6 to 7 using a script. It went smooth.
https://sparkylinux.org/sparky-dist-upgrade-script/

When I use command apt update I see a mark "Stary" (Old in Polish) next to my repository list . Is it a problem?

I have unchecked Debian sid repository too. Is it correct?

There is an info: KDE Discover: Unable to load applications. Please verify Internet connectivity.

There was an issue prior to 5.21.2 (as in 5.20.5) where certain elements failed to gather information ( continuous indicator rotation).
Changing repos to testing, the update to kde(5.21.2) is indeed an issue.
No problem using synaptic or Sparky Aptus.

I have a problem with exim4 and I don't know if it is associated with this upgrade.
When I restart system I see a message on black screen: Failed to start LSB :exim Mail Transport Agent.

Timeshift is not working anymore. It launches in live usb mode.
In Location tab I can't select the partition where my backups are.
I see this partition on Dolphin so partition is mounted.

Timeshift is not working due KDE Plasma 5.21.2 update. I have checked it.
I have restored system from Timeshift snapshot and Timeshift works fine. After update KDE Plasma to 5.21.2, Timeshift is only in live usb mode.
How to stop update to Plasma 5.21.2?

I have checked again Debian sid repository and Discover works again.

Will there be another KDE Plasma update? Now it's KDE Plasma 5.21.5.
I think there is a dependency missing that Timeshift is no longer working.
Without Timeshift, I cannot back up my system.
Sometimes I used Timeshift to restore the system and this application is indispensable to me.

I wanted to try Systemback instead of Timeshift but it didn't work for me.
The Systemback not let me select storage directory. Default is set to /home.
I wanted to set up another location with ext4 file system but I coudn't do it. There is a red X mark.

After today's update of Timeshift the problem has solved. Timeshift works again.
