[Bug 1556728] Re: apt-get update not fetching packages in external repositories

[Julian Andres Klode]

Neither repository provides the packages you mentioned for xenial. The
first only provides  humanitary-icon-theme, the other no firefox-next,
only firefox, firefox-dev, and some locale and debugging packages.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  apt-get update not fetching packages in external repositories

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  apt-get update is not fetching packages from external repositories in Xenial. I have a few added in my system, but let's consider the following two as examples:
  http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/icons/ubuntu
  This provides a package called ultra-flat-icons, among many others

  http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-next/ubuntu
  This provides a package called firefox-next

  Neither of the above-mentioned packages show up in apt-cache search after an update:
