Public bug reported:
I cannot edit the /etc/apt/sources.list using synaptic packet manager.
When I select "" I get a dialog saying that the packet sources have been
changes and I should click on "reload".
Original German text:
"Paketquellen wurden geändert
Die Informationen der Software-Paketquellen haben sich geändert. Um die
Änderungen zu übernehmen, klicken Sie bitte auf "Neu laden". "
This happens every time. The terminal says:
Traceback (most recent call last):
