Hey there,
Debian offers unattended upgrades for specific packages:
https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades
If you follow this sites instructions carefully, then you don't have to worry about updating Tor manually anymore (but you would want to if there is a significant security issue that got patched and got assigned it's CVE / TROVE number).
Hope I could help you, George
P.S:
Even though I ditched Debian for ArchLinux on both my desktop and servers a long time ago, if you run any issues, feel free to ask, I can quickly create a virtual machine and check what is wrong with your config, but the page I linked has everything you need, really.

Thanks, After checking with lsb_release -a, it is now running Debian 11.9. Is there a tool for auto updating tor when a new version is released?
Thanks. --Keifer

What other changes need to be made? Thanks. --Keifer
Be careful, you can only ever upgrade to the next version! From Debian 9 to 11 doesn't work. You have to do 2 upgrades. From 9 to 10 first and later from 10 to 11. You also cannot upgrade Windows 7 to Win 11 directly.
This is very time-consuming, hence the recommendation to reinstall.
No matter what you do, I would back up the tor config and the tor keys first.
Important: (apt-key is deprecated) How the tor repo is added has changed. https://support.torproject.org/apt/
Again as a recommendation: Take the official Debian documentation and not any random guides from the Internet. Here are the links again. The documentary is translated into many languages. Chapters 2 and 4 are important. Your architecture is: 64-Bit-PC (AMD64)

Your relay is running Tor 0.4.8.11 on Linux That means you have time to read and ask questions.
I'm out of here for now. I have enormous personal and legal problems because of the exits that I have to take care of.

Sorry I meant reinstall it with Bookworm of course. You can backup and restore your keys if you like so you are not loosing your relays history. There is some documentation at https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/post-install/ "Backup Tor Identity Keys" On 08.05.24 10:16, Bauruine wrote:
What they told you, maybe a bit harsh, is that you are using a very old Debian version that will soon be end of life and won't get updates anymore. apt-get upgrade doesn't upgrade to new releases, you have to do it "manually". Think like a Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrade which also doesn't happen with the normal Windows updates. You can either upgrade from your current version Buster (10 )--> Bullseye (11) --> Bookworm (12) or just reinstall it with Bullseye and configure it again.

Right? Why comment if your just going to be such a jerk and not be helpful?
I am just unable to figure why this would suddenly happen when the relay has been updating without issue and suddenly this happens, have been keeping Debian up to date using apt-get update so wondering what else needs to be done? Thanks. --Keifer

Can we stop just accepting behavior like this on the tor community's mailing lists?
Seriously, it makes us all look bad.
I'm sorry folks have to endure so much just to use a computer program that's intended to be humane and helpful.
