Title:
  apt-add-repository corrupts sources.list with multiple options

Status in “python-apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ubuntu 12.04, python-software-properties 0.82.7.3]

  Here is how to reproduce:

  echo "deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/debian/stable/ squeeze contrib" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
  apt-add-repository ppa:semiosis/ubuntu-glusterfs-3.3 </dev/null
  tail -1 /etc/apt/sources.list

  It shows:

  deb [arch=amd64] trusted=yes]
  http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/debian/stable/ squeeze contrib

  Notice that an extra right-hand square bracket has been added after
  arch=amd64, which means that sources.list is now invalid.

  If you correct it, then
  apt-add-repository --remove ppa:semiosis/ubuntu-glusterfs-3.3 </dev/null
  re-introduces the corruption.

  Notes:

  (1) The format of the options field is defined in the sources.list(5)
  manpage

  (2) [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] is a valid option set, and is required
  for the htcondor repo, because it doesn't have i386 packages *and* its
  packages are not signed
