Bellière,

Thanks for this.

There was a misconfiguration that has now been resolved.

I believe this is fixed, so closing. But feel free to reopen if you still find
problems.

Thanks

Mark

Dear Maintainer,

The enabling the source package for debian-security with components
'contrib' and 'non-free' leads to the following warnings during an update:

  Warning: Skipping acquire of configured file 'contrib/source/Sources' as repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged excalibur-security InRelease' does not seem to provide it (sources.list entry misspelt?)
  Warning: Skipping acquire of configured file 'non-free/source/Sources' as repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged excalibur-security InRelease' does not seem to provide it (sources.list entry misspelt?)

It appears that excalibur isn't properly syncing with debian's
repository. You can visibly see the differences by visiting:

- http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/excalibur-security/non-free/
- https://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/trixie-security/non-free/
