[Bug 610142] Re: add-apt-repository does not re-enable repos disabled in upgrade

[Sylvhem]

The same problem or one very similar affect me since the upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal.
Software-properties doesn't allow me to enable the third party repositories disable during the upgrade. I can't check the checkboxes associated to these PPA (including commercial repositories).

Title:
  add-apt-repository does not re-enable repos disabled in upgrade

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

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable a PPA repository with add-apt-repository
  2. Upgrade Ubuntu (for example from Karmic to Lucid)
  3. Notice that PPA packages are not available, run add-apt-repository again

  What happens:

  add-apt-repository does not uncomment the line in the relevant file
  under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

  What should happen:

  add-apt-repository recreates the relevant file enabling the
  repository, or at least give a message telling that the repository is
  disabled and that manual action is needed.
