My sources.list line says: deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free That was put there by the installer, who calls itself "cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.6 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20120930-15:53]/ squeeze main". Martin Krafft, in his book "The Debian System", suggests: deb http://security.debian.org sarge/updates main contrib non-free Both Martin and the installer ought to know, but they don't say quite the same thing -- note the '/' (or lack thereof) after debian.org... Does anyone know for sure what's going on? Is there maybe a bug in one of the apt programs that concatenates stings incorrectly (so the '/' makes a difference)? Has something changed since sarge? -- Glenn English -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
