It is a known issue. The only effect is that the contents of the 'updates' won't be available to apt-file, but those contents should be the same as 'main' anyway. Do not comment out the line. Doing so would affect the operation of apt-get and aptitude as well, and you would miss security updates. If the error message bothers you then you can create a new sources file and reference it using the '-s' option of apt-file. -- Liam O'Toole Birmingham, United Kingdom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
