Michal,

  The problem is that in JSON you can have a list of dictionaries/hashes 
but not a list of items, eg:
```
[ 
 

     Types: [ deb ], 
 

     URIs: https://hwraid.le-vert.net/debian 
 

]
```

jq '.' list.json
```
11:16 r10n17.lisa.surfsara.nl:~
root# jq '.' list.json
parse error: ':' not as part of an object at line 2, column 12
```
