Public bug reported: — SYNOPSIS —
Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) has a tab "Other Software" that lists all entries in /etc/apt/sources.list and in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list Some entries have an option in square brackets, e.g.: deb [arch=amd64] ... But, Software & Updates doesn't handle these options properly. 1. It removes the option if you edit the entry. 2. If the option contains "signed-by", Software & Updates doesn't even list the entry, and thus allows you to add a duplicate entry (normally prevented). — EXAMPLES — Example of point 1: Consider Google Chrome: deb [arch=amd64] https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main #Chrome If you edit this entry in Software & Updates, it removes [arch=amd64]. The same applies to [trusted=yes]. Example of point 2: Consider SpiderOakONE, which needs "signed-by". deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/spideroakone.gpg] https://apt.spideroak.com/ubuntu/ release restricted #SpiderOakONE This also happens with combinations: deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/spideroakone.gpg] https://apt.spideroak.com/ubuntu/ release restricted #SpiderOakONE Software & Updates doesn't even display this entry. Thus, you can manually re-add this deb, albeit without the signed-by option. — MORE DETAIL — Confusingly, you can add the option [arch=amd64] or [trusted=yes] (or both) when you add an entry in Software & Updates, but if you then edit the entry, Software & Updates removes the option. — EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR — Software & Updates should: • Display all entries • Preserve all options when editing an entry • Allow you to add suitable options when adding an entry • Allow you to edit options when editing an entry — VERSIONS — Ubuntu version: Tested on Ubuntu 20.04.4 and Ubuntu 22.04.1 software-properties-gtk version: 0.99.9.8 (on Ubuntu 20.04) 0.99.22.3 (on Ubuntu 22.04) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: software-properties-gtk 0.99.22.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-46.49-generic 5.15.39 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-46-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Aug 15 09:19:51 2022 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-05-05 (101 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20220419) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python3.10 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en PATH=(custom, user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.10, Python 3.10.4, python3-minimal, 3.10.4-0ubuntu2 PythonDetails: N/A SourcePackage: software-properties UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug jammy wayland-session -- 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/1986513 Title: Software & Updates doesn't handle sources files properly when an entry has options Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: — SYNOPSIS — Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) has a tab "Other Software" that lists all entries in /etc/apt/sources.list and in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list Some entries have an option in square brackets, e.g.: deb [arch=amd64] ...
