[Bug 890536] Re: Entries that are deleted from the Other software list just reappear.

[Terry Relph-Knight]

This is now the permanent state of my system following the upgrade from 
11.04 to 11.10. When I perform the deletion it appears to work, but it 
does not persist.
Despite repeated attempts to edit the Other Software sources list 
through both the Software Centre or via Synaptic, the removed entries 
re-appear following a re-boot and the - Last updated - displays as the 
last time I attempted the removal rather than the last time I update.
As also mentioned I cannot edit any of my software reviews entries in 
the Software Centre. Any edit results in a - Edit failure - message.

My new Kindle eBook on the acoustic guitar is available from Amazon - GUITAR Mechanics: http://www.amazon.co.uk/GUITAR-Mechanics-ebook/dp/B005GEXV0G/
You don't need a Kindle to buy or read the book - Amazon provide free reader apps (download from right of book page) for most PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Title:
  Entries that are deleted from the Other software list just reappear.

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When running 'check for updates' in the Update Manager it objects to
  two PPA entries for Pidgin in the 'other software' list. If I try
  deleting these the deletion lasts while Update Manager is open, but
  when closed and re-opened these entries re-appear.

  I have a perhaps related problem with adding software reviews in the
  Software Centre. I can post reviews but once posted I cannot edit
  them.
