Detecting debian bookworm insetad of sid

[bompus]

I came across this issue today, after using the official debian-installer instructions and then switching to unstable (sid) using apt full-upgrade.

UPSTREAM_CODENAME=$(cut -d / -f 1 /etc/debian_version)

For me, /etc/debian_version contains bookworm/sid, so the script is detecting this as bookworm due to the cut that happens. You might need to carve out a condition that if it only contains sid or ends with /sid, then it is indeed sid, otherwise fallback to the other detection.

I'm having the same issue, with the difference that I installed Debian starting from the Testing netinst image, so my system is trixie/sid. Due to this I cannot configure deb-get during installation or run it at all, because I get the error "ERROR! Debian Trixie is not supported because it is not derived from a supported Debian or Ubuntu release."
