Bug#1120448: apt modernize-sources swallows problem
Package: apt
Version: 3.1.11
# apt modernize-sources
The following files need modernizing:
- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome-beta.list
- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-earth-pro.list
Modernizing will replace .list files with the new .sources format,
add Signed-By values where they can be determined automatically,
and save the old files into .list.bak files.
This command supports the 'signed-by' and 'trusted' options. If you
have specified other options inside [] brackets, please transfer them
manually to the output files; see sources.list(5) for a mapping.
For a simulation, respond N in the following prompt.
Rewrite 2 sources? [Y/n]

# apt modernize-sources
All sources are modern.
At this point the user thinks "what about that problem? I guess all is
well and good now." (Only to still get errors on apt update.)
So at least more should be output, not just "All sources are modern."
