Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

This bug will also not let you edit a software source (like changing one from quantal to precise).

[SteliosSk (steliossk)]

I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 (amd64)

Doesn't let me edit the sortware sources (changing from quantal to precise) even if it let me do it before.

[Ryan Kitty (gothickitty93)]

This bug is still present in the final release of Quantal.

I am not sure what the bug is but I am running the 13.04 released today (4/2/2013). Thanks for your work.

[Olivier Berten (olivier-berten)]

It's there again in saucy...

[Jarosław Guza (jarekj83-4)]

Correct! I've got the same problem with an older software that's still on PPA and must be added under maverick. I have to remove the entry in Software Updater and create from scratch. The change is just not permanent.
Very, very buggy.

[A. Eibach (andi3)]

Ah, what is this: (tried to run $ software-updater-gtk --massive-debug )

ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.82:/: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

May explain why it takes up to 30 seconds until my machine reacts again after clicking 'OK' in SU.

[A. Eibach (andi3)]

oops this should read $ software-properties-gtk --massive-debug
sorry

[Donarsson (benjamin-schwarz)]

I had this bug while trying to edit a ppa source in Saucy.

[Nikki1993 (nikki-icekronik)]

Same happens on Trusty.

[Nathan LeBert (ramblingpirate)]

Editing a ppa in Utopic presents a crash report occasionally. Removing and adding work perfectly.

for me it appeared when i wanted to change repo for dolphin emulator, whch he didnt do. Then i unchecked the ppa and everything went well. Hope this helps in this particular scenario
