Now, I have to understand why it says me :

Malformed line 6 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
URI parse - apt does not understand the URI you have in sources.list.

when my line 6 is :

deb [trusted=yes] file:/media/cdrom/ stretch main
Did you type this into your mail or was it a copy and paste? (The URI
above works for me).

And if I remove the , I get the message about file not signed...
  [trusted=yes
If you get this message then apt finds the URI acceptable. If the URI
is not ok, it won't get this far.

I doubt that bug #872543 has anthing to do with your issue.

I cannot copy paste as I have not access to lan/wan
So I typed this in my mail..

As you point me in the good direction, I have removed the full line and typed it again.
And now it works !
I suppose that I did key some bad character somewhere...
The point too is the font is very small on these Acer Swift when nothing is installed, and as I am a bit old I have difficults to see characters...

Have you tried experimenting with different font faces?

 # dkpg-reconfigure console-setup

Different faces permit different sizes, which you can read about[1] in

  $ man 5 console-setup

under OPTIONS, in the section on FONTFACE and FONTSIZE:

| FONTFACE and FONTSIZE

| Valid font faces are: VGA (sizes 8x8, 8x14, 8x16, 16x28 and 16x32),
| Terminus (sizes 6x12, 8x14, 8x16, 10x20, 12x24, 14x28 and 16x32),
| TerminusBold (sizes 8x14, 8x16, 10x20, 12x24, 14x28 and 16x32),
| TerminusBoldVGA (sizes 8x14 and 8x16), and Fixed (sizes 8x13, 8x14,
| 8x15, 8x16 and 8x18).  If however CODESET=Ethiopian, then the
| available font faces are Goha and GohaClassic, each in sizes 8x12,
| 8x14 and 8x16.

I don't know about your particular device, but FWIW the Terminus
fontface frequently proves helpful for me.

NOTE

1. I must acknowledge that there is a chicken-and-egg problem
here. Good luck!
