Adding the dist-upgrader damages my sources.list file

[Rylie Pavlik]

In my original sources.list file, the main and restricted lines were separate from the universe and multiverse ones. Synaptic and/or the update-manager changes them to the following:

(adding universe and multiverse up here)
## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch major bug fix updates produced
## after the final release of the distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates restricted main multiverse universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted

(and also changing the following lines - in all of these, the deb-src is untouched and used to match the preceding deb line)
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security restricted main multiverse universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security main restricted

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security restricted main multiverse universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe multiverse

Could you please attach your sources.list to this bug? Do you still have your original sources.list arround? The SOftware-Properties create a backup called "sources.list.save".

Thanks,

Sebastian

Have you started the dist-upgrade? Could you please give some more details how we could reproduce this bug. Have you launched the Software-properties?

I have started the dist upgrade. However, here's how to reproduce it:

Edit the sources.list manually so that your main and restricted lines are separate (on their own line) from the universe and multiverse, and have the deb-src for both of them, as well. From the terminal, do a sudo apt-get update, and notice that all is well. Now, launch Synaptic and go into Repositories. Close Synaptic, and re-update from the command line - now errors about duplicate lists will occur. If you open the sources.list in a text editor, you will see the error as described above.

Thanks for your bugreport and your detailed analysis.

This is fixed in the dist-upgrader for dapper->edgy.

Cheers,
