Bug Description
Binary package hint: adept
In adept there is no option to manage the ubuntu backports repositories. They don't appear in the 3rd-party sources and backports are not one of the ubuntu/canonical options. In fact I was completely unaware that I still had backports enabled until today when my music-playing applications started seriously malfunctioning. It seems that during distribution upgrades the backports entries in /etc/apt/
An identical problem to this also occurs in synaptic. I don't know if it is the same issue or not.
Do you know if this was the sources editor inside of adept, or if it was the program that pops up to let you edit the sources from inside adept? There are two ways it is done, and knowing which way you're doing this will make a big difference in how we go about troubleshooting and fixing this bug.
Thanks.
