Control: retitle -1 FTBFS when apt is configured with *.sources instead of *.list

Thanks for arranging access, which lets me reproduce this there. get-mirror.sh looks into `apt-config dump` to get some variables, then digs into the “main” sources.list and the possible extra sources.d snippets, based on the APT_DIR_ETC, APT_SOURCELIST, and APT_SOURCEPARTS variables set according to the apt configuration. On this specific system, we have a debian.sources snippet that contains: Types: deb deb-src URIs: http://deb.debian.org/debian Suites: sid Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg and also a sbuild-build-depends-archive.list snippet that contains: deb [trusted=yes] copy:///build/reproducible-path/resolver-sOG2tA/apt_archive ./ deb-src [trusted=yes] copy:///build/reproducible-path/resolver-sOG2tA/apt_archive ./ so we need to teach get-mirror.sh about .sources files. At the very least, we should change this to avoid feeding .sources files to something that expects .list ones: -MIRRORS="$(get_mirrors /$APT_DIR_ETC/$APT_SOURCELIST /$APT_DIR_ETC/$APT_SOURCEPARTS/*)" +MIRRORS="$(get_mirrors /$APT_DIR_ETC/$APT_SOURCELIST /$APT_DIR_ETC/$APT_SOURCEPARTS/*.list)" Looking briefly at `apt-config dump` and sources.list(5), there doesn't seem to be anything specific to .sources files in the configuration, so using the three existing variables as they are should be fine enough, except: - one pass for the traditional format, main and snippets (*.list, see above) - one pass for the new format, snippets only (*.sources this time). Thanks for the report (and again for the access), Santiago! Feel free to scratch (my access to) the VM, commenting out an existing sources.list and deploying a sources.list.d/santiago.sources (copied from the first quoted section above) is enough to reproduce the problem.
