Describe the bug
Installed Debian Trixie-RC3 with minimal packages and no DE. Attempted to run the Full System Update and ran into the following error:
Sources have been written to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fetch.sources Nala fetch failed, restoring backup. cp: cannot stat '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nala-sources.list.bak': No such file or directory
Besides the spelling mistake, the update will fail to run from the utility.
Steps to reproduce
- From the current running user execute the command: sudo curl -fsSL christitus.com/linux | sh
- Go to System Setup
- Select Full System Update
- Press y on the prompt
- Observe the process
Expected behavior
The error does not occur and the updates are properly applied.

don't use sudo curl. escalating curl is pointless. what you wanted to do is probably curl -fsSL christitus.com/linux | sudo sh but that would be also pointless because linutil escalates on its own when it's needed :)
