Title:
  Other Software source properties not properly set

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

Bug description:
  Since Ubuntu 13.10 (complete clean install or upgrade from 13.04),
  software sources aren't properly added through the GUI. Part of the
  URI is placed in the distribution section and the value of what should
  be placed in the distribution section is added to the components
  section. The result is errors when updating the software sources.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Open "Software & Updates"
  2) Go to the "Other Software" tab
  3) Add a new source like a PPA. Example: "ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging"
  4) Click on "Edit..." for the new created source

  Result:
  URI: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
  Distribution: /ubuntu
  Components: saucy main

  Expected result:
  URI: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu
  Distribution: saucy
  Components: main

  Changing it manually will give you key errors on update afterwards.

  Using "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging" in a
  terminal works as expected.

  I'm running Ubuntu GNOME 13.10, should that makes any difference.
