[Bug 1044801] Re: [Gnome-Control-Center] ticking for backport updates erase the sources.list

[Paul White]

Sebastien,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some
time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

It would help us a lot if you could test on a currently supported Ubuntu
version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the
updated logs by running only once in a terminal:

apport-collect 1044801

and add any additional information that you think relevant.
Alternatively, please confirm that this is no longer a problem and that
we can close the report. If we do not hear from you the bug report will
close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
  [Gnome-Control-Center] ticking for backport updates erase the
  sources.list

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is how to reproduce the bug.
  1-go to "system parameter" in top left corner menu (or launch gnome-control-center in a terminal).
  2-in the panel "updates" just tick as if you want to add quantal-proposed or quantal-backport repositories.

  By doing this, it will modified the file /etc/apt/sources.list .

  I give 2 files :
  sources.list.init : sources.list before i add quantal-proposed
  sources.list.modified : sources.list after i add quantal-proposed

  luckily, the sources.list is saved before the modification and the
  command mv sources.list.save sources.list resolve the problem.
