Bug#992851: apt-setup generated sources.list differs from sources.list(5)
Package: apt-setup
Version: 1:0.166
Severity: minor
Tags: d-i patch
Debian Install System Team,
sources.list(5) has the following example:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org bullseye-security main contrib non-free
apt-setup generates a slightly different /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
I consider sources.list(5) to be authoritative.
Therefore, I think the two stanzas above should be identical.
Attached is a patch which:
1) Removes trailing slashes from URIs
2) Omits /debian-security if host is security.debian.org
3) Removes unused suite from 92updates and 93backports
4) Reverts "$hostname$directory" to original "$hostname/$directory"
5) Cleans up various syntax issues
If the Maintainers do not like any of the above changes,
I would be happy to resubmit an updated patch.
Thank you!
