Crossposted from Debian discord -
just converted apt sources on three machines to deb822 format. had one where i was using `[Trusted=yes]` that failed (sonarr) and deb822 documentation doesn't cover that.
went to chatgpt and asked how to configure a source that didn't have a gpg key and it suggested `Signed-by: null` ; that threw an error so i went back to ai, told them their previous solution didn't work and asked specifically how to duplicate the `[Trusted=yes]` in deb822 format and it turned out the answer was `Trusted: yes`. got them all fixed and tested.
since the old format is gonna go away at some point i decided to set them all up today, which went without error except for sonarr refusing to update until i got the trusted: yes thing fixed.
btw, the command is `apt modernize-sources` and it does back up all your sources before creating sources in the new format. debian.sources looks like this now -my commented-out deb-src entries didn't get migrated, though. easy to add to the existing debian.sources if i need to.
edit: Here's a reasonably good overview of deb822 - https://repolib.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... ormat.html
