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]
Modernizing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome-beta.list...
- Writing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome-beta.sources
Modernizing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-earth-pro.list...
- Writing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-earth-pro.sources
Warning: Could not determine Signed-By for URIs: http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/, Suites: stable
# 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."

This is outside the scope of the command, it only analyses the classic
sources format.
