Underlined square brackets do not render very well but it is an
improvement.

The format for two one-line-style entries using the
deb and deb-src types is:
 
-   deb [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1] [component2] [...]
-deb-src [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1] [component2] [...]
+   deb [ [option1=value1 option2=value2] ] uri suite [component1] [component2] [...]

Alternatively the equivalent entry in deb822 style looks like this:

Well that's just one formatting idea... but many manpages seem to use
it that way, e.g. mdadm(8)

Cheers,

Ahhh. Thanks.

On re-reading the man-page already tries quite hard to bring this
across ("If options should be provided they are separated by spaces
and all of them together are enclosed by square brackets") and there
is an example, too.

I do not know on how to improve on that. Feel free to close this
bug-report.

Thanks, cu Andreas

Bug#809029: apt: trusted=yes option in sources.list not recognized

2015-12-26 Thread Andreas Metzler 
Package: apt
Version: 1.1.5
Severity: normal

Hello,

==
sources.list(5):
   deb [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1] [compone
nt2] [...]
[...]
THE DEB AND DEB-SRC TYPES: OPTIONS
   Each source entry can have options specified to modify which source is
   accessed and how data is acquired from it.
[...]
   ยท   Trusted (trusted) is a tri-state value which defaults to APT
   deciding if a source is considered trusted or if warnings should be
   raised before e.g. packages are installed from this source. This
   option can be used to override that decision. The value yes tells
   APT always to consider this source as trusted, even if it doesn't
   pass authentication checks.
==

However this fails:
root@argenau:~cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb  trusted=yes  http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
root@argenau:~# apt update
E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

This also applies to 1.1.6.

Hi Andreas,

I believe you have to use

  deb [trusted=yes] http://... ...

Which is admittedly not very clear from:

 deb [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1] \
   [component2] [...]

Where [] is also used as an marker of optional items.

Thanks,
~Niels

FWIW "Trusted: yes" in deb822 style sources works.

I think the proper way would be to use some formatting to differ
between terminal and non-terminal symbols.

E.g. Underlining any non-terminal symbols.

Chris.
