What is the error message? Does 'apt search ....' find anything? How about 'apt show ufraw'? Comment out everything in sources.list and do 'apt update'. There should now be no package information in lists. Delete pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin. Add the single line deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian buster main to sources.list and do 'apt update'. 'apt search ufraw'? (I'd use "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main" but that is probably neither here nor there). -- Brian.
