Dear Maintainer,

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I suppose I can remove next line on sources.list:
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ sid main
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
It should work, like on apt, apt-get or cupt

Regards,
