2010-05-13 06:45:54 Adam Guthrie description For example: apt-add-repository ppa:sevenmachines/release+1 creates a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sevenmachines-release+1-lucid.list. However, man sources.list says File names need to end with .list and may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-) and period (.) characters. Otherwise they will be silently ignored. So that's what happens. Ubuntu 10.04 python-software-properties 0.75.10 For example: apt-add-repository ppa:sevenmachines/release+1 creates a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sevenmachines-release+1-lucid.list. However, man sources.list says File names need to end with .list and may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-) and period (.) characters. Otherwise they will be silently ignored. So therefore this newly created list file is silently ignored (verify by apt-get update and looking in /var/lib/apt/lists) Ubuntu 10.04 python-software-properties 0.75.10
