[Bug 789859] Re: add-apt-repository adds invalid deb line if PPA contains a / and a -

[YannUbuntu]

Something we missed until now:
- we only tested PPAs. We should check if this bug occurs with "standard" repositories too.
- all tested reps contain a /, but also a minus (-). We should check if the bug also occurs if / but no -  (or the contrary).
- we reproduced only with already added rep. We should check if this can happen with not yet added rep. (eg by using many times sudo rm /etc/apt/grub.d/deluge* , then sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa)

Bug description:
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Add the PPA, that contains a slash, with add-apt-repository:
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa
  2. Removing the PPA with ppa-purge:
  sudo ppa-purge ppa:deluge-team/ppa
  3. Again, add the PPA with add-apt-repository:
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa

  RESULT:
  The file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/deluge-team-ppa-natty.list' now contains an invalid third line that says 'ain':

  rune at runescomp:~/Desktop$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deluge-team-ppa-natty.list
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/deluge-team/ppa/ubuntu natty main
  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/deluge-team/ppa/ubuntu natty main
