So I copied 'sources.list' from the server, which looks like:

  deb     http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
  deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free

  deb     http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
  deb-src http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free

  # deb     http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports bullseye-backports main
  # deb-src http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ bullseye-backports main non-free contrib

to my laptop.

Now I get:

  root:~# apt-cache policy libpq5
  libpq5:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 13.9-0+deb11u1
    Version table:
       13.9-0+deb11u1 500
          500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
       13.7-0+deb11u1 500
          500 http://security.debian.org bullseye-security/main amd64 Packages

So the problem is with the original 'sources.list', namely

  # See https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList for more information.
  deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
  deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free

  deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
  deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

  deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
  deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free

I didn't change the URLs and only added the section 'main' and
'non-free', so how come this is broken just for me?

Is it possible that the machine that 'deb.debian.org' resolves for me to
just does not have the current point release?

  root:~# ping deb.debian.org
  PING debian.map.fastlydns.net (146.75.118.132) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from 146.75.118.132 (146.75.118.132): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=44.3 ms

Cheers,
