Sources.list is like the installer have left it (had chosed Germany mirror: 
deb.debian.org... at least that what the installer made me think):

So it works fine... but the warning on apt-update is there.

Also:
root@debian:/home/paul# dpkg-reconfigure
bash: dpkg-reconfigure: command not found

I have been able to install LXDE, startx, and run most applications in Xorg: 
dillo, mousepad, vim, emacs... but LXTerminal and ordinary terminal, refuse to 
show anything in their windows... have seen some "walking error".

But I had to force down the VM to quit Xorg... and so now the date is ok:
root@debian:/home/paul# date
Tue 26 Jan 2021 02:17:46 PM EST

Sorry for not being able to report date result on first boot.

Also... no "more":
root@debian:/var/log# whereis less
less: /usr/bin/less /bin/less /usr/share/man/man1/less.1.gz
root@debian:/var/log# whereis more
more:
root@debian:/var/log# 

Although I have to admit  fsck did correct some errors after the forced reboot.

Warning still present after all that:
root@debian:/var/log# apt update
Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports sid InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased InRelease
