Excuse me if this is not the place to notify this error.
I see that apt on stretch have a problem after manual edition of
sources.list:
any section after "main" is ignored. All sources.list editing examples
show
"main contrib non-free", but that means that only the indices of main
are
downloaded, and the solution is to place main at the end: "contrib
non-free
main" or "non-free contrib main". I saw this problem in the stretch
release,
but I can confirm that it continues today and generates a lot of
confusion in
the new ones.
For the record, I have never seen this happen on any our dozens of
stretch hosts.
I just "cleaned up" a host to check, and confirm that I cannot reproduce
this:
