[SOLVED] How can I fix "Conflicting distribution" when running apt update?

Hi all,

I'm just trying to update a server that typically gets updated once in a three-months period. Now, I wanted to run an update, and I get:

# apt update
Hit:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
107 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
W: Conflicting distribution: http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus InRelease (expected daedalus but got daedalus-security)

My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ daedalus          main non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ daedalus-updates  main non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ daedalus-security main non-free non-free-firmware

What's going on here? And how do I fix it? Thanks for all help :-)

Okay, after some more intense research, I can answer this myself.

# apt clean
# rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# apt update

did the trick. Apparently, something in my local cache was messed up …
