Bug ID: 410549
Summary: PPA's without a valid release file will cause Discover
to stop displaying all APT repositories (except
flatpak and snap)
Product: Discover
Version: 5.15.4
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a PPA without a valid release file for your version of Ubuntu (e.g.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/clipgrab-team/ppa/ubuntu for Ubuntu 19.10)
2. Update apt database (maybe log out)
3. Open Discover and go to Sources
OBSERVED RESULT
All apt repos are gone from the the interface.
EXPECTED RESULT
One misbehaving repository shouldn't bring down the others.
I've noticed Discover and packagkit is very fragile when it comes to handling
unofficial repositories, which often cause it to crash or stop displaying
sources and updates.
I've observed this kind of thing when dealing with COPR repos over a year ago
on Fedora with Gnome software (in that case it was unable to check for
updates). I've observed failing updates with Discover on Kubuntu too - there
was a bug filed here a while ago to that effect (possibly fixed).
