Title:
  synaptic creates sources.list.d/filename with characters apparently
  ignored by apt

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  When I add my own PPA repository to Synaptic using the short ppa: form
  synaptic creates a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with a file name
  apparently ignored by apt.

  My PPA: https://launchpad.net/~paul-climbing/+archive/lesstif+nedit
  The string I used to add the repository: ppa:paul-climbing/lesstif+nedit
  The file created: /etc/sources.list.d/paul-climbing-lesstif+nedit-karmic.list

  When I run synaptic (or even apt-get update manually) the packages
  don't show up in the list. When I moved the file to
  /etc/sources.list.d/paul-climbing-lesstifnedit-karmic.list (so without
  the + sign) everything worked fine.

  Please tell me if you need more info.
