I forgot about this bug, but I later realised that the problem was due to my
installation of the OS from a daily cd version of the ISO file from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/xenial/daily-live/pending/xenial-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync
rather than the normal download site. I did not realise

The output from
"dpkg -S /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list"
is now what I expected,
"dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list"
as I have now disabled the proposed repos so that is no help.
I did not think to look in the "Other software" tab of
I haven't dug all the way into the code but I suspect the Developer
Options tab and the Updates tab only hanlde -updates, -security, and
-proposed to exist in /etc/apt/sources.list not in a different file in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/.
Additionally, I'd expect -proposed to appear in the "Other
Hopefully a final comment about this from me, with a suggestion about
how to restore the packages that you don't want from "proposed" back to
stable repository versions.
With some help from another Ubuntuforums member, 1fallen, I was given this info
page from askubuntu
Just as a trial I have a few minutes ago restored the proposed.list file
to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which is where I originally found it, and
once again I am not able to disable the proposed repos from software-
sources GUI. Whatever I do, the tick in the selection box of the
Developer Options
I found the two files, proposed.list and proposed.list.save in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d folder and both of them had the same content:-
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-proposed universe main
multiverse restricted
Neither file had that one line commented out with a # as I would
Were in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ did you find proposed enabled? What
was the name of the file and what were its contents?

OK, that worked as expected, and now when I go to Software Sources from the
Xubuntu menu I can enable and disable the proposed repos without a problem as I
expect to be able to do.
This is baffling!

Just noticed the same thing in my Xubuntu 16.04.
I do not recall enabling proposed at all, so I'm baffled.
I have now removed the proposed.list and proposed.list.save from
/etc/apt/sources.list.d folder by commenting the files with a # and will
see what that does.

Hi, thanks for your response.
Yes, I've reload as the pop up suggests, and after reloading, the box is
still ticked. I've deleted the source "proposed" in
etc/apt/sources.list.d, sudo apt-update, and the box isn't ticked
anymore.
If you need I can try to reproduce it.
Best regards!!
:)
