- STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Long way:
- 1. Install oibaf's mesa PPA using add-apt-repository:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
- 2. Remove this PPA with ppa-purge:
- sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
- 3. Add the PPA again using add-apt-repository:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
- 
- ----OR----
- 
- Short way:
- 1. Place the two files "oibaf-graphics-drivers-natty.list" and "oibaf-graphics-drivers-natty.list.save" that are contained in the attached file sources.list.d.tar.gz in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. These are the files that are produced by follwing steps 1. and 2. above.
- 2. Add the repository again:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
+ 1. Add the PPA, that contains a slash, with add-apt-repository:
+ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa
+ 2. Removing the PPA with ppa-purge
+ sudo ppa-purge ppa:deluge-team/ppa
+ 3. Again, adding the PPA with add-apt-repository
+ sudo ppa-purge ppa:deluge-team/ppa
  
  RESULT:
- The file "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/oibaf-graphics-drivers-natty.list" now contains a third, erroneous line that says "ain", causing "apt-get update" to fail with:
- E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oibaf-graphics-drivers-natty.list
+ The file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/deluge-team-ppa-natty.list' now contains an invalid third line that says 'ain':
