Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-
Confirmed on:
1) Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (development branch) 8.10
software-
Installed: 0.63ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.63ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 0.63ubuntu1 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
2) Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1
software-
Installed: 0.63ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.63ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 0.63ubuntu1 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
Remarks:
- Clicking the intrepid-security / hardy-security checkbox in the "Updates" tab adds the intrepid-security deb line to the list of Third-Party Software
- The above action doesn't actually show a check mark in the checkbox.
- Unchecking/checking the checkbox in Updates tab does not have an effect on /etc/apt/
- It appears to add the source just fine, it's just displayed in the "Third-Party Software" tab instead of checking the checkbox.
Detected problem:
1) The checkbox of Updates > hardy-security sets its status searching for "archive.
2) Checking/unchecking looks for and adds/removes "security.
Temporary fix:
1) sudo sed -e 's/security\
sudo mv /etc/apt/
sudo apt-get update
2) Don't uncheck/check the hardy-security in Software Sources until it's fixed.
