Notice: Some sources can be modernized. Run 'apt modernize-sources' to 
do so.
martin@martin-Alienware-m17-R5-AMD:~$ sudo apt modernize-sources
The following files need modernizing:
  - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:stable.list

Modernizing will replace .list files with the new .sources format,
add Signed-By values where they can be determined automatically,
and save the old files into .list.bak files.

This command supports the 'signed-by' and 'trusted' options. If you
have specified other options inside [] brackets, please transfer them
manually to the output files; see sources.list(5) for a mapping.

For a simulation, respond N in the following prompt.
Rewrite 1 sources? [Y/n] Y

And from there, a lot fo unresolved dependencies go.
