Bug Description

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/1023667:

Source: xen-tools
Version: 4.9.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The xt-guess-suite-and-mirror tools is not able to handle sources.list
entries like this:

  deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports kinetic main restricted

This comes from a default installation of Ubuntu Kinetic on arm64
(raspberry pi). Specifically, the tool is not able to handle the
ubuntu-ports portion of the entry.

This is what the tool reports:

  pi@ubuntu:~$ xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --mirror
  Couldn't find a useful entry in the sources.list files of the Dom0. Tried:
    /etc/apt/sources.list
  pi@ubuntu:~$ xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite
  Couldn't find a useful entry in the sources.list files of the Dom0. Tried:
    /etc/apt/sources.list

I would expect it to correctly report 'http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports'
and 'kinetic' instead.

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for the bug report(s). This is now fixed in git with this
