[Bug 890536] [NEW] Entries that are deleted from the Other software list just reappear.

[Terry Relph-Knight]

Public bug reported:

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.
