I deployed a ubuntu server. Then tried to install certain packages but this results in:
sudo: unable to resolve host production-server-1
E: Malformed entry 11 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
This is what sources.list
looks like:
## Note, this file is written by cloud-init on first boot of an instance
## modifications made here will not survive a re-bundle.
## if you wish to make changes you can:
## a.) add 'apt_preserve_sources_list: true' to /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
## or do the same in user-data
## b.) add sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
## c.) make changes to template file /etc/cloud/templates/sources.list.tmpl

Hi there,
It looks like that the following line is line 11:
Have you made any changes to the source list file after the server setup? The line should not really hold any variables but an actual link to the repository.
What I could suggest is taking a default copy of the source list file from the exact Ubuntu version that you are currently using and replacing it.
Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
