Hello, [email protected], I believe the Debian "Packages" web page confuses the terms "Sections" and "Components".
The page is here: https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Scroll down to: "Search package directories" Note the following select menus: Distribution: [stable] Section: [any] The "Section" menu contains the following options: main, contrib, non-free, and any. main, contrib and non-free are components, not sections. This is confusing because in the context of Debian packages, “Section” has a separate and distinct meaning. For reference, see the sources.list man page. See also: https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-subsections To correct this problem, consider changing "Section" to "Component" (or to "Area"?). Cheers, Parke
