[Bug 211674] Re: Adept Manager crashes when you add bad URL of a mirror

[Chris J Cheney]

I have just come up against this bug with Kubuntu 8.10 (released
version).

The effect is that once a bad URL (e.g. "http;" instead of "http:") is
in sources.list, Adept will crash when it is started, giving no
opportunity for fixing (or circumventing) the problem. The end-user is
then stuck (unless he/she has enough knowledge to go the correct file
and manually edit it). IMHO the priority should rather greater than
"low".

Contrastingly, Synaptic outputs a diagnostic indicating the line where
the error is and continues by ignoring that line.
