The error messages which appear at the Terminal are attached in the middle section of this posting.
I am contemplating to abandon MX 21.1 and start with a Fresh Install of MX 21.3 ;
I am seeking assurances from the Forum Community, if prior experiences shows that the MX 21.3 distro on a 32-BIT desktop will update properly ?
I am also able to run the failing apt update using the "strace" line command: this generates a large amount of output of trace-output details, I am not sure if I should extract this large "trace" text file and post it here ?
Here below is the error segments after attempting to do "apt update" ;
