Error too many ppas causes FD leak

[Dave Morley]

It seems there is a limit to the amount of ppas one can have on a system and USC still function and I have broken it :(

https://pastebin.canonical.com/74756/ and https://pastebin.canonical.com/74752/

I have disabled several but still get the issue. I'll catch up with mvo about possible courses of action tomorrow

Dave says:
$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list|wc -l
192

(which is a lot)

Dave says: "205" on quantal and no isses. 192 on precise and only there he hits the issue.

Setting to "high" so that this gets examined.

Anthony suggested to provide a single unified virtual "vault" for the users.

The idea would be to have a per-user PPA like repository that contains a Packages file and the purchased deb
packages in one place (the debs probably as symlinks/hardlinks to a central pool directory for space efficiency).

This would allow to go with a single PPA. The server could send the "repo ready" information in the purchase form
when the it has copied the packages and rebuild/resigned the Packages file which would allow the client to stop
the current polling on if the PPA is ready yet on the LP side.
