Comment 6 for bug 1509702

Re-hi,
I made a small fix to the aptsources module (locally on my laptop).
Aptsources comes from the python-apt package.

$ apt-get source python-apt
$ cd python-apt-1.0.1build1/
$ cd aptsources/

# Edit sourceslist.py file.

# Add a make_unique(self, l) function to the SourcesList class.
# Then call make_unique from the refresh() function.
# This will remove duplicate lines while maintaining sort order of the list.

Please see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12973347/
