Hi,

first of, how did you run apt? Did you use apt full-upgrade? Did you also run apt update after changing the repositories?

Please post the whole output of apt full-upgrade (aborting when above message comes, of course) and tail -n+0 /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, that should help investigate this further.
