Bug Description
Since Ubuntu 13.10 (complete clean install or upgrade from 13.04), software sources aren't properly added through the GUI. Part of the URI is placed in the distribution section and the value of what should be placed in the distribution section is added to the components section. The result is errors when updating the software sources.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open "Software & Updates"
2) Go to the "Other Software" tab
3) Add a new source like a PPA. Example: "ppa:gnome3-
4) Click on "Edit..." for the new created source
Result:
URI: http://
Distribution: /ubuntu
Components: saucy main
Expected result:
URI: http://
Distribution: saucy
Components: main
Changing it manually will give you key errors on update afterwards.
Using "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-
I'm running Ubuntu GNOME 13.10, should that makes any difference.
