Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
When adding the repository in a Debian sid (unstable) system it creates the source as:
deb https://cli.github.com/packages sid main
# deb-src https://cli.github.com/packages sid main
But while running apt update we get:
Ign:3 https://cli.github.com/packages sid InRelease
Err:4 https://cli.github.com/packages sid Release
404 Not Found [IP: 185.199.109.153 443]
E: The repository 'https://cli.github.com/packages sid Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
Replacing sid by unstable in sources.list works as expected.
Proposed solution
Since sid is also a valid release name, your repository should have a link sid pointing to unstable (so no matter if we use sid or unstable, we will always hit the same repository, as expected).
