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

[SebastienManen]

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.

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.
