[Bug 889405] [NEW] Readding repo using apt-add-repository can cause invalid repo line

[Thomas Mashos]

Public bug reported:

Removing and readding a PPA can cause invalid repository lines. This
doesn't seem to be the case with all repositories, but I've reproduced
it consistently with the below steps.

Steps to reproduce.
1) apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.25
2) apt-add-repository --remove ppa:mythbuntu/0.25
3) apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.25

Expected result: repository .list file contains
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main

Actual result: repository .list file contains
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main
src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main

This causes apt to fail with an invalid line error.
