REQUIREMENTS
The tool requires apt Sources files to be around for the checked components.
In the default case this means that in /var/lib/apt/lists files need to be
around for main, contrib and non-free.
In practice this means one needs to add one deb-src line for each component,
e.g.
deb-src http://<mirror>/debian <dist> main contrib non-free
and run apt-get update afterwards or use the update option of this tool.
