Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
Delete the `deb-src` entry from the `/etc/apt/sources.list` file and the
installation should work as expected.

Examine +/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kibana-{major-version}.list+ for the duplicate entry or locate the duplicate entry amongst the files in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` and the `/etc/apt/sources.list` file.
