[Rohit R]

Public bug reported:

The str() method in SourceEntry class, has malforms the source line.

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from aptsources.sourceslist import SourceEntry
>>> s = SourceEntry('deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10/ubuntu precise main')
>>> s.str()
'deb [arch=amd64] trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10/ubuntu precise main\n'

Note the extra "]". This leads to apt-add-repository to malform some
entries.
