Package: general Severity: normal
Hey. Not sure where this should actually go to (apt? ftp-masters? backports?)... please reassign as it fits :-) It's seems to have never properly worked for me, to use the suite-names for backports repos in sources list. E.g. having: deb http://foo/debian/ oldstable/updates main contrib non-free instead of jessie/updates goes fine, but: deb http://foo/debian/ oldstable-backports main contrib non-free gives a warning: W: Conflicting distribution: http://foo oldstable-backports InRelease (expected oldstable-backports but got jessie-backports) in aptitude and friends. Looking at the Release files there seem to be some possibly wrong usage of the fields? jessie's security Release has: Origin: Debian Label: Debian-Security Suite: oldstable Codename: jessie while that of the backports Release has: Origin: Debian Backports Label: Debian Backports Suite: jessie-backports Codename: jessie-backports not using Suite: oldstable-backports for some reason. Can this be fixed (for all backports suites)?
