Bug Description

After having run ppa-purge xorg-edgers I have this in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xorg-edgers-ppa-maverick.list:
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu maverick main

If I then try to reenable xorg-edgers by running sudo add-ppa-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa I get this in that file:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
ain

I have to remove the "ain" by hand to get apt-get update to work.

I can second this.

gerwin@Nidavellir:~$ sudo apt-get update

Same problem here while testing with some ppa packages.

This should be quite straightforward and fast to fix, but still nothing has happened over 2 months...

I do not have an add-ppa-repository, at least not anymore. What I have now is add-apt-repository and that works fine. Closing...
