Subjectapt-get update error
Message-ID<xSki5-63F-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Greetings earthlings!

I am running an old Jessie I refuse to let go of, on an 
amd64. # uname -a
Linux debian.localdomain 3.16.0-7-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.59-1 (2018-10-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is the apt-get update output error:

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-updates/InRelease  Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

This is my sources.list. It represents my effort to 
invoke LTS for this Jessie. I can't see anything in it that even vaguely resembles the line above. 

-snip-
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
-snip-

Any and all contributions will be gratefully and thoroughly examined.

Thank you.

There is no more jessie-updates repository.  Just remove that line.

foo-updates is a repository that exists only while a stable release is
still supported and receiving point-release updates (like 8.3, 8.4, 8.5).
The foo-updates repository is a place where the updates that are GOING to
be in the next point release are available before the formal point release
happens.

Since jessie will never receive another point-release update, there is
no reason to have a jessie-updates repository.

So, the repository was removed, nuked, wiped out, obliterated, you have
no chance to survive make your time.

This could have been communicated or handled a bit more smoothly.

Can I safely assume you are referring to how the organization handled it, and not my email? 


All best,

I believe the interpretation of Greg's statement in which you, Bob, are
the target occurred only to you, Bob, and that the remark was intended
solely to incriminate the authorities.

So you can rest easy (until Greg contradicts me).

The major, who had been a great fencer, did not believe in bravery, and spent
much time while we sat in the machines correcting my grammar. He had
complimented me on how I spoke Italian, and we talked together very easily. One
day I had said that Italian seemed such an easy language to me that I could not
take a great interest in it; everything was so easy to say. "Ah, yes," the
major said. "Why, then, do you not take up the use of grammar?" - "Another Country"

That was my brain's interpretation, too... with the further thought
process that NEXT TIME... those of us who follow Debian-Publicity and
similar could help out by forwarding the most important of those
updates over here to Debian-User....

	Those last two lines are not needed, and are what is probably
causing the errors in your update. 

	Also, check this page: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using
