Googling a little http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/198460/rfc822-style-sources-list-yields-e-type-types-is-not-known https://github.com/hercules-team/augeas/issues/297 Note: from apt_1.0.9.8_changelog http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/a/apt/apt_1.0.9.8_changelog last entry about Deb822 is: set APT::Sources::Use-Deb822=false until the format is fully finalized [formatting added] Don't know what more to say ... (is not in use since apt 0.9.14.3~exp5 =~ apt (0.9.15) isn't it ? ) > Thanks, > ~Niels > Best regards, -- Sérgio M. B.
