The Ubuntu sources.list generator, is a web application that can create custom sources.list files for various version of Ubuntu. The sources.list file tells the packaging system where it can look for software to install. The generator can add many additional sources, including those for proprietary software.
Hi,
I made a lame mistake of deleting some precise .list files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d in backtrack 5 R3. The reason for this was that the KPackageKit notified me about a ubuntu upgrade and the upgrade hanged at the "ilegal" source files, so i deleted them, without making a backup.
Translated: Type "b-src 'is not known on line 2 in the file / etc / apt / sources.list.d / tualatrix-ppa-precise.list, E: Unable to read the list of sources., E: The list of packages or status file could not be parsed or opened. '
how to break the deadlock?
Knoppix is a Debian-based Linux live DVD.
I've liked the pre-installed packages in Knoppix so much, that I've installed it to disk. My question is about /etc/apt/sources.list
In Knoppix, the sources.list file has MANY repo links, it includes links for stable, testing, unstable and experimental (lenny, squeeze, wheezy, sid...etc), all uncommented.

I'm trying to use apt-get source as a regular user on a debian squeeze system.
I want to retrieve the sources for cyrus-imapd-2.4 from the testing/wheezy repository.
apt-get source works without root privilegets; however, it seems there is no way to get apt-get to fetch anything from a repository that is not in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Is there any command line option, alternate sources.list file
