Dear maintainer,
I recently installed from the latest netinst CD on a VM, the host system
is Debian Stretch, but the VM is on Jessie.
I selected on install all available options, including backports, but I
was consistently getting error 100 on updates.
So I checked the sources.list and found two errors:
1.
The second line was pointing to: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/
jessie/updates main contrib non-free
But the correct syntax should replace ftp.us.debian.org with
security.debian.org
2.
Regarding backports the entry wrote: deb
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free
However the backports website reports this: deb
http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main
Thus there is an extra forward slash after "debian" that should not be
there, apart from incorrectly addressing the us mirror.
Thank you.
