Clarification: Thankfully it doesn't -- it would be another place to keep up to date with respect to codenames of releases… (we have it for the manpages, but these are at least not mission-critical) Its simpler: The Release files tell us which Codename and Suite this archive is for - if thats different from the one you mentioned in sources.list you will get this "lovely" warning… And yes, Christoph is right, something is wrong with stable-updates as if we look at the current Release file of it [0] we can see that it says […] Suite: squeeze-updates Codename: squeeze-updates […] change Suite to 'stable-updates' and it will work again for everyone who has 'stable-updates' written in his sources.list. User with sources.list entries mentioning 'squeeze-updates' doesn't have a problem with it obviously… The "normal" stable gets it right with 'stable' and 'squeeze'. The mentioned debian-security btw, too, through you might notice that it says 'stable' and 'squeeze' instead of 'stable/security' and alike, but thats intended - otherwise APT would warn again… (which kind of make sense, as security is already stable, while updates want to become part of stable with the next point release -- at least as far as i have understood it) Best regards David Kalnischkies [0] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable-updates/Release -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
