When I update I get this
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'contrib/binary-amd64/Packages' as repository 'http://deb-multimedia.org trixie InRelease' doesn't have the component 'contrib' (component misspelt in sources.list?)

W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'contrib/i18n/Translation-en_US' as repository 'http://deb-multimedia.org trixie InRelease' doesn't have the component 'contrib' (component misspelt in sources.list?)
My sources list is

deb http://deb-multimedia.org/ trixie main non-free contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian trixie-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security trixie-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
Help I can't see where the error is.

Re: [Software] sources list problem
It tells you in the output: is deb-multimedia.org doesn't have contrib.

Re: [Software] sources list problem
There have been a number of posts about dependency issues caused by using deb-multimedia sources. It's better to remove it from sources and just download any packages from there and install manually.
I haven't had any need for packages from there since libdvd-pkg was made available in Debian official repos.

Re: [Software] Solved sources list problem
Thanks for the info. I interpreted the output as that I had misspelled contrib. I just removed contrib from the list and all works fine. I went to the multimedia repository website and saw that if I needed anything that I wasn't getting from Debian, I could probably find it there. More than likely won't happen, but now, thanks to you all, I have a better understanding of how those repos work. Thanks.

Re: [Software] sources list problem
I recommend to completely remove deb-multimedia from sources.

Re: [Software] sources list problem
You really only need the one line:
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

Re: [Software] sources list problem
Don't use and not recommending, but I'd like to point out the website is clear about the recommended form of sources list entry for Trixie (and doesn't mention contrib): deb https://www.deb-multimedia.org trixie main non-free.
