while using software sources in the freshly updated trusty 32 daily from 2 days before to activate the proposed checkbox , the 4 checkboxes faded and were not clickable anymore. right after that the sources cant be loaded , the error-report came ;

apt-get update gave back that /var/etc/apt/sources.list was malformed in line1

checked it out , got :

deb ... trusty-proposed

so changed it into trusty proposed , fixed

HOW can this be a duplicate of #1051935 if

- there is only 12.04 and 12.10 affected?
- fix is released?

BUT this shit happens in 15.04 ???

Post #13 implicates the same!
