add-apt-repository(add-ppa-repository(?)) leaves garbage in xorg-edgers-ppa-maverick.list

[Wolfgang Kufner]

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.

Terminal output:

gerwin@Nidavellir:~$ sudo apt-get update
E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/erik-b-andersen-rgba-gtk-maverick.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.

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...

For information, this bug was certainly a duplicate of Bug #789859

No it DOESN'T works fine
wondering if add-ppa-repository really exist (LOL)
