Title:
sources line is modified if a complete apt line is given
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I was trying to add the oneiric-proposed pocket to my
/etc/apt/sources.list with add-apt-repository instead of using vi. I
was using the following command:
sudo apt-add-repository "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-
proposed main universe"
and the following line appeared in my sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric oneiric-proposed main universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric oneiric-proposed main universe
Notice that oneiric was added before oneiric-proposed. The
documentation for add-apt-repository indicates that:
<sourceline> - The apt repository source line to add. This is one of:
a complete apt line in quotes,
I did provide a complete apt line and it was modified by apt-add-
repository and now I can't run 'apt-get updates'.
