[Bug 1026687] [NEW] Software sources properties refuse to load with faulty repos in list

[Svein Tore Seljebotn]

Public bug reported:

1) I added the Fazena repo and I'm using Quantal. There are no files for Quantal there in the repo. Running sudo apt-get update hence gives me error messages.
2) I want to fix the added ppa lines, so I start Software Center and click Software Sources.

What happens:
Software sources tries to update the database. Naturally, it fails just like apt-get update. An error message is displayed containing:

W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tiheum/equinox/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tiheum/equinox/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tiheum/equinox/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Upon clicking ok, the message disappears, but nothing more happens. The
software source window is never launched.

What I expect to happen:
After the error message, the window should still load, letting me fix the faulty lines.
