Thanks for your report - I managed to reproduce the bug.

However, you mentioned that the bug does not occur on all repos; could
you please specify a repository for which removing and readding it does
not cause problems? Thanks!

** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => software-properties (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Readding repo using apt-add-repository can cause invalid repo line

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Removing and readding a PPA can cause invalid repository lines. This
  doesn't seem to be the case with all repositories, but I've reproduced
  it consistently with the below steps.

  Steps to reproduce.
  1) apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.25
  2) apt-add-repository --remove ppa:mythbuntu/0.25
  3) apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.25

  Expected result: repository .list file contains
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main
  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main

  Actual result: repository .list file contains
  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main
  src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main

  This causes apt to fail with an invalid line error.
