Whilst preparing RC2 for 'Riders on the Storm' we have altered the way, that sources.list is generated. If you have RC1 installed, please dist-upgrade.
Im Rahmen der Vorbereitung des RC2 zu 'Riders on the Storm' haben wir die Art der Generierung der sources.list überarbeitet. Wir bitten alle, die RC1 installiert haben, dieses einem dist-upgrade zu unterziehen.

Which new package are we looking for in the dist-upgrade, please?
-
apt-conf-siduction mainly.

Thanks. My main system is a "cross-graded" aptosid installation, and I have to manually keep up with the siduction source lists. It's fixed now.

@ dibl
Same here. Could you please be a bit more verbose about what to do?
TIA
@ devil
PS: Maybe it is worth to explicitly mention "crossgrade" in the about of this warning, too.

Sure. Save this as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list:
deb http://packages.siduction.org/base unstable main
#deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/base unstable main
deb http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main
#deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main
deb http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main
#deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main
and you will have the same as the RC1 folks have, but they have it in 3 files instead of one.

Thanks, but apt now gives me a warning:
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://packages.siduction.org/fixes/ unstable/main i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.siduction.org_fixes_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages)
To me it seems after changing my siduction.list to the version you posted I have to remove "siduction-fixes.list". And after doing so, the warning went away. Just for others to know ...
-
Right -- you only need each source listed once.
The RC1 system that I installed shows this:
guest@siductionbox:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ ls
base.list debian.list extra.list siduction-fixes.list
But on my "cross-graded" system I combined them, because it has always had a single "siduction.list". I hope the devs will tell us if it is important to use the separate list files -- it would be easy to change to match the RC1 configuration.

I was and am confused as to why devil's waring was confined to ROTS RC1. Isn't this a problem for all siduction installs?
-
No. But we have had a repository-list in installations that shouldn't be there: release.list. In rare circumstances this has the potential to break running installations of rc 1 and block rc2 and the final.
Therefore i modified the apt-conf-siduction and do a rewrite of the matching part in fll-liveinitscripts. The update was the first step to do a cleanup.

dibl: you can merge the lists the way you want them. From now we have only three lists:
* debian.list with the debian repos in it
* siduction.list with the official and permanent siduction repos
* misc.list with documented out user and experimental and temporary repos like kdenext.list. xfcenext.list and so on depending on the installed flavour.

Thanks for the info.
