[Bug 801133] Re: add-apt-repository and ppa-purge can't be used repeatedly

[Paul Dumais]

I was able to work around by opening the ubuntu software centre, then
choosing Edit->Software Sources from the menu. Then I selected the boxes
next to the software sources that I had previously tried to add. Click
close. Then do sudo apt-get update.

Title:
  add-apt-repository and ppa-purge can't be used repeatedly

Status in “ppa-purge” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing
  sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing

  The repository is not re-added in the third step.

  Btw, wouldn't it make sense to have ppa-purge and add-apt-repository
  in the same package as they are, in a sense, their opposites?
