Modernized sources not handled for official package repositories #265
Description
mintsources won't recognize that the official package repositories .list has been converted to .sources format using apt modernize-sources and will just create a default .list file again, which will not only dismiss previous settings and mirrors, but also causes a heap of apt warnings because of duplicate entries:
