Dear Maintainer,
There is a bug in the netselect package that output some of the hosts
with negative value. There is logic in netselect-apt to detect it and it
works, but the logic to ignore those doesn't witch results in generatin
invalid file.
The problem is detected with regular expression on line 197: egrep '^ *-'
But the logic to remove those lines on line 200 doesn't account for the
whitespaces: sed -e '/^-/d' As a result the generated source.list file
has the line: deb - stable main contrib
which is invalid. The solution is to modify the sed call on line 200 to
sed -e '/^ *-/d'
