Cant set Repositories from Settings menu

[dino99]

Since a few days i cant change / open Settings -> Repositories : i only get a popup saying

The repository information has changed. You have to click on the "Reload" button for your changes to take effect

I've purged synaptic then reinstalled it but get the same problem: the sources.list is not opened, but get this popup. So i cant select/deselect an entry via synaptic.

What output do you get when you run

sudo apt-get update

from terminal

Is there any repositori that is not loaded new?

You may attach the terminal output in a txt file here.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

When done please set the status back to new.

[dino99 (9d9)]

running update into a terminal seems to fail getting updates (watch update.txt joined) but then opening synaptic, the updates are listed as usual.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

O.K I have read the console output.

That is looking far away from normal.

What have you done :)

I see the prolem in your etc/apt/sources.list

and not so in synaptic.

I attach a exerpt of mine sources list(basic with universe and multiverse enabled). You may want to rename yours as sources.list_backup and copy the attached in /etc/apt/ . When the Problem not occure with this list you know that have to do some wipe out in yours.

You know: Bring it there with terminal as sudoer or with

gksu nautilus

and set the privileges/owner correct.

Please do not upgrade with this list. It whould only show if syanptic can in principle work with(update package list).

[dino99 (9d9)]

ok i've used your genuine sources.list instead of mine (which only use the lines i need since ages without issue)

new output joined.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

I see: The same mess.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

So, it comes not from the sources.list

[dino99 (9d9)]

now it has been fixed by the latest aptdaemon 0.45+bzr848 .

But opening that Settings -> Repositories gui is very slow, much more than before, i mean before using Software-properties-gtk; as synaptic now call it.
