[Touch-packages] [Bug 1556728] [NEW] apt-get update not fetching packages in external repositories

2016-03-13 Thread Hariharan Iyer 
Public bug reported:

apt-get update is not fetching packages from external repositories in Xenial. I 
have a few added in my system, but let's consider the following two as examples:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/icons/ubuntu
This provides a package called ultra-flat-icons, among many others

http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-next/ubuntu
This provides a package called firefox-next

Neither of the above-mentioned packages show up in apt-cache search after an 
update:
