Public bug reported: When running 'apt-add-repository --remove <REPO>', the deb-src repository isn't removed along with the deb repo. Along the same lines, the message when running with the --remove option is confusing (it says it is adding a repository). This may be working as designed, but it doesn't make sense as to what someone would expect to happen.
For instance, If I run 'apt-add-repository --remove ppa:alexandr-surkov /dharma-pvr', I get a new file (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/alexandr-surkov- dharma-pvr-oneiric.list) containing deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexandr-surkov/dharma-pvr/ubuntu oneiric main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexandr-surkov/dharma-pvr/ubuntu oneiric main If I then run 'apt-add-repository --remove ppa:alexandr-surkov/dharma-pvr', it says it is adding a repository, and the file (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/alexandr-surkov-dharma-pvr-oneiric.list) then contains deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexandr-surkov/dharma-pvr/ubuntu oneiric main I would expect it to remove both repositories (deb and deb-src) when running it with the --remove command since it added both when running it regularly thomas@earth:~/code$ sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:alexandr-surkov/dharma-pvr You are about to add the following PPA to your system: dharma-pvr More info: https://launchpad.net/~alexandr-surkov/+archive/dharma-pvr Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it thomas@earth:~/code$ ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ total 32 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 2011-11-10 09:51 alexandr-surkov-dharma-pvr-oneiric.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 156 2011-11-10 09:51 alexandr-surkov-dharma-pvr-oneiric.list.save -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49 2011-11-10 09:51 dropbox.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49 2011-11-10 09:51 dropbox.list.save -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 160 2011-11-10 09:51 stebbins-handbrake-snapshots-oneiric.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 160 2011-11-10 09:51 stebbins-handbrake-snapshots-oneiric.list.save -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67 2011-11-10 09:51 virtualbox.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67 2011-11-10 09:51 virtualbox.list.save thomas@earth:~/code$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/alexandr-surkov-dharma-pvr-oneiric.list deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexandr-surkov/dharma-pvr/ubuntu oneiric main ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: apt 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Nov 10 09:52:16 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Beta amd64 (20110915.1) SourcePackage: apt UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888656 Title: apt-add-repository --remove doesn't remove as expected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/888656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
