Any package replace /etc/apt/sources.list?
Hi
Does any package replace the file /etc/apt/sources.list?
I just realized the my /etc/apt/sources.list is not what I put it there any more. Does that relates to my recent update?
thanks

No.
By default /etc/apt/sources.list is a symlink to /etc/apt/sources.list.grml but if you modify the file on your own (removing the symlink therefore) it won't be touched anymore.

Oh, I was just working on /etc/apt/sources.list, and I didn't know it is symlinked.
Just for the archive, the file /etc/apt/sources.list.grml did get updated, and so is my modification. Luckily, I have backups.
Lesson learned: remove the symlink before editing /etc/apt/sources.list.
thanks

Yes, or use vim - then the symlink is removed automatically when editing /etc/apt/sources.list and you don't have to care about it. :)
