I changed something which bricked my rpi. I changed sources.list and raspi.list then when I run sudo apt update I am getting this error:

E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Suite)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

How can I restore sources.list and raspi.list?

  • More important than the hardware you're running is: which version of the OS you're using?... e.g. buster?? stretch is a possibility, but quite old now.

Reset to default

These are the default entries from an unmodified image:

    rpi ~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi
    # Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
    #deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi

    rpi ~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list
    deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ buster main
    # Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
    #deb-src http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ buster main

After you restore these values, you will need to run sudo apt update again.
