The syntax for an entry in the sources.list file isn't what I would call obvious. What you're seeing is in fact correct, even though the dists directory doesn't appear in it. (if it weren't, you wouldn't be able to do an update nor get packages!) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
