[Bug 837943] Re: apt does not understand Debian repositories

[Michal Suchanek]

I get no errors, only warning that restricted is not found in the Debian
releases.

W: Failed to fetch
http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/dists/experimental/InRelease  Unable to
find expected entry 'restricted/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong
sources.list entry or malformed file)

As is often the case with apt it quietly discards the Release file when
it encounters an issue.

Correcting the entry to say contrib instead of restricted resolves the
issue.

Thanks

Michal
