Bug#71601: APT's default sources.list file has incorrect non-US syntax
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: Wishlist
I installed potato on a SPARC system a few days ago, and I noticed that the
example line in Apt's sources.list file for non-US was incorrect. It uses
the pre-potato style of:
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
which will fail on a potato (or later) system. I propose changing that
line in /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list (which will fix the
documentation as well as the default install, judging from the apt.postinst
script) to:
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
Woody's source for apt, in the archive at ftp.us.debian.org, is a symlink
to the version in potato, so one would presume that this minor bug is in
both versions and correctable by a single fix.
