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

[Alessandro Menti]

I tried using the "ppa:mythbuntu/0.24" and the bug still occurred.

However, I think enough information has been collected and is ready to
be worked on by an Ubuntu developer. Thus, I'm asking for this bug to be
marked as Triaged and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking
the time to make Ubuntu better!

[Note to developers: as Thomas suggested in comment #2, bug #889406 is
probably closely related to this. I'm asking that to be marked Triaged
as well].

** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  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.
