Scribus won't install (Resolved)

[Gnigma]

I tried to install Scribus, but the install fails with "E: Malformed entry 26 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read." How do I fix it? (Debian 10)

Hi,
Please post the sources here:

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

To see what the problem is.

This:

Code: Select all

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/buster main


should be this:

Code: Select all

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian buster main


So the slash between debian and buster needs to be a space.
But perhaps it is best to comment it out, since higher this line is already present.

Well, I cleaned up the Sources list. I finally got it to install and it seems to run. Thanks for the help!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned all the Ubuntu wine repos, (or attempts at them), in that list!

They should indeed be commented out or removed, as they won't work formulated like this.

The "eoan" line is one of the bad lines referred to in the error message so that source hasn't actually been included in APT's database.
