[Bug 1000544] Re: Update Manager crashed when adding PPA

[NJC]

I removed the offending google PPA lines in sources.list so I could use
update manager again. But I thought it was worthwhile to submit a bug
report considering those "bad" entries caused update manager to crash.

I can recreate if needed as well.
