Package: apt Version: 0.8.15.6 Severity: important As of apt 0.8.15.6, sources.list entries that use the "deb http://... path/" format instead of the "deb http://... release component" format fail (for me).
For example, I have the following entries in my sources.list: deb-src http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian source/ deb http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian binary-amd64/ With apt 0.8.15.5, apt-get update reports no errors. With apt 0.8.15.6, I get these errors: W: Failed to fetch http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian/source/Release Unable to find expected entry 'Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian/binary-amd64/Release Unable to find expected entry 'Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) The latter Release file currently looks like this: Archive: karmic Component: contrib Origin: IguanaWorks Label: IguanaWorks Debian/Ubuntu Repository Architecture: amd64 Which is the same set of keys that the ftp.us.debian.org Release file(s) have AFAICT. >From searching around, I'm wondering if this may be related to an older (fixed) bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=622250 -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT "";
