Tim - I hate to say this but - following a cold boot this morning that 
PPA problem is back. I must not have tested for it as rigorously as I 
should. I probably forgot to do a reboot but just checked for updates 
after re-naming that file.

My new Kindle eBook on the acoustic guitar is available from Amazon - GUITAR Mechanics: http://www.amazon.co.uk/GUITAR-Mechanics-ebook/dp/B005GEXV0G/
You don't need a Kindle to buy or read the book - Amazon provide free reader apps (download from right of book page) for most PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Title:
  Entries that are deleted from the Other software list just reappear.

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When running 'check for updates' in the Update Manager it objects to
  two PPA entries for Pidgin in the 'other software' list. If I try
  deleting these the deletion lasts while Update Manager is open, but
  when closed and re-opened these entries re-appear.

  I have a perhaps related problem with adding software reviews in the
  Software Centre. I can post reviews but once posted I cannot edit
  them.
