Public bug reported: I have a local APT repository with a non-lowercase suite identifier. apt-add-repository always forces it into lowercase, which causes apt to emit warnings when it notices the mismatch:
$ sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://example.com/deb FooBar Baz" Repository: 'deb http://example.com/ foobar Baz' Description: Archive for codename: foobar components: Baz More info: http://example.com/ Adding repository. Press [ENTER] to continue or Ctrl-c to cancel. (...) $ sudo apt update (...) W: Conflicting distribution: http://example.com/deb foobar InRelease (expected foobar but got FooBar) ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056556 Title: apt-add-repository incorrectly forces lowercase Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a local APT repository with a non-lowercase suite identifier. apt-add-repository always forces it into lowercase, which causes apt to emit warnings when it notices the mismatch: $ sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://example.com/deb FooBar Baz" Repository: 'deb http://example.com/ foobar Baz' Description: Archive for codename: foobar components: Baz More info: http://example.com/ Adding repository.
