Public bug reported:

When I try to add a new PPA repository using Software and Updates gui
the repository is added but software-properties-gtk adds an space to the
line on /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa-name.list

darkhole at devolo:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat libreoffice-ppa_-saucy.list 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa /ubuntu saucy main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa /ubuntu saucy main

The extra space is after the ppa word.
ppa file should be:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu saucy main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu saucy main

Using CLI method works fine (sudo add-apt-repository)

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 with lastest updates. I already tried multiple
PPAs, same problem.
