Hello,
thank you for maintaining the package apt.
There is, in the /doc/examples/sources.list, resp. /etc/sources.list
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.
The ``R'' in remember should probably be small letter.?
Use tabs characters in that file, so the distro and flavors are
under each other:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib
non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib
non-free
instaed of the plain format.
Add an empty line bettween initial comment and deb lines.
Add also other examples, than http:// only, eg. ftp://, rsync:// (?),
file://.
Change the order of ``contrib'', ``non-free'' to ``non-free contrib''
because contrib depends on non-free.
Add the vi modeline, because file is wide:
### vi: set nowrap:
Best regards
Hans Ginzel
