A modified version of the patch, adding "ignore the apt-get update warning
below" to the output. Background is, that if any error is detected during
cachefile.cc pkgCacheFile::BuildCaches, apt will print the warning:
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
In the case of an unreadable source list this is misleading.
The code printing the apt-get update warning:
/* This sux, remove it someday */
if (ErrorWasEmpty == true && _error->empty() == false)
_error->Warning(_("You may want to run apt-get update to correct these
problems"));
** Patch added: "apt-unreadable_sources.patch"
