how to remove this bug

[Ding Zhou (tualatrix)]

You can't remove this bug, if this can't be reproduced, just set the "status" to invalid.

Hi amit ate, could you provide the contents of your sources.list. Kindly post them here line by line. To do that, just do 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' on a Terminal.

Thanks

[J. Austin Rodriguez (jeanaustinr)]

The problem could not be reproduced. The reporter, amit ate, was requested to provide the information of his sources.list in order to correct the problem. We believe this is not a bug but an issue that needs only technical support therefore we are converting this to a question.
