Re: Synaptic and updated apt sources?

[Boyan Penkov <boyan.penkov@gmail.com>]

After upgrading apt this week on testing (trixie), it defaults to the
apt822 sources (https://repolib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deb822-format.html#deb822-format),
which can then be enabled by a ``sudo apt modernize-sources``

However, in Synaptic, clicking on Settings -> Repositories shows a
blank list, presumably reading from the old format (it used to edit
/etc/apt/sources.list directly).

Cheers!
