I've followed the instructions listed @ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-apt?view=azure-cli-latest but getting the following error after executing 2nd sudo command -
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

Error:
"E: Malformed Entry 1 in the list file /etc/apt/source.list.d/azure-cli.list(component)
E: The list of sources could not be read

Problem when installing with different versions of Debian distro occurs, like "jessie".
What worked for me. Change the following line

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ $AZ_REPO main" | \
     sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list

to

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ wheezy main" | \
     sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list

Essentially we are telling the source file, to use a lower version of Linux Distribution for installing https.

Jessie is supported and has been for a few releases now. You can replace wheezy with jessie then update the package.

Really, @derekbekoe? He waited a full day for you: you could have waited at least that long before closing this - not to mention that you could have answered the question first. What's the big deal in leaving these tickets open? Do you get paid by how many you close, or what? Do you get money deducted from your salary if they aren't closed? Enlighten me, please.
