Subject: sources.list: indexes after main are not downloaded
Date: Thu, 07 Mar 2019 03:11:02 +0100
Package: apt
Version: 1.4.9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Excuse me if this is not the place to notify this error.

I see that apt on stretch have a problem after manual edition of sources.list:
any section after "main" is ignored. All sources.list editing examples show
"main contrib non-free", but that means that only the indices of main are
downloaded, and the solution is to place main at the end: "contrib non-free
main" or "non-free contrib main". I saw this problem in the stretch release,
but I can confirm that it continues today and generates a lot of confusion in
the new ones.

For the record, I have never seen this happen on any our dozens of 
stretch hosts.

I just "cleaned up" a host to check, and confirm that I cannot reproduce 
this:

Regards, yes, now I am also unable to reproduce this on two different 
machines (i386 and amd64).

Anyway, I'm looking for under what conditions it could be reproduced.

Hi, I suggest that it be closed:

1. In a forum in Spanish I had the false impression that this error 
occurred to another person.

2. I must have encountered this problem in a previous stable 
distribution, but I did not check that it had been resolved later

3. In case I have occasion to reproduce it in some old release I will 
notify it here, but it does not affect stretch and I think it could be 
closed.

Best regards
