There are multiple deb-src not added reports open (#399771, #301602), so the issue must be coming from there, as I have just used the methods of the existing software-properties code. Anyway, I will propose a merge for this tool, as you have reported it basically works, and will take a look at the deb-src issue a bit later. Thanks for your feedback, I hope the tool will come handy. ** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Robert Roth (evfool) ** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997371 Title: Create command to add "multiverse" and "-backports" to apt sources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/997371/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you please test this little app I have created for this purposes. apt-add-source multiverse adds multiverse, apt-add-source -r multiverse removes multiverse from your sources list.

[Bug 997371] Re: Create command to add "multiverse" and "-backports" to apt sources
Ok, you're right, this won't work for a server system. So I assume you have python-software-properties installed even on a server, as you have apt-add-repo provided by that package, so the tool required should be in python-software-properties, and have the same functionality as software- properties-gtk --enable-component backports/multiverse/etc. Would this be OK? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997371 Title: Create command to add "multiverse" and "-backports" to apt sources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/997371/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the tip! software-properties-gtk is nice for a desktop system, but on an Ubuntu server (e.g., EC2 instances) it is not installed by default.

[Bug 997371] Re: Create command to add "multiverse" and "-backports" to apt sources
** Description changed: Based on a discussion at UDS-Q a simple command is desired to be able to add/enable "multiverse" and/or "-backports" in the apt repositories on a system. Background: Right now, it is trivial to add a PPA to the apt sources using the apt-add-repository command. For example, I can tell somebody on IRC/email/blog to run these commands: - sudo apt-add-repository ppa:awstools-dev/awstools && sudo apt-get - update && sudo apt-get install elbcli + sudo apt-add-repository ppa:awstools-dev/awstools && + sudo apt-get update && + sudo apt-get install elbcli Presto! They have the correct package installed and this works on a number of different Ubuntu releases. Unfortunately, it is much more common to point people to the more popular "multiverse" (and occasionally "-backports") sections of the standard apt repositories, but it is much more difficult to describe how to enable these. For example, to install the ec2-api-tools currently available in multiverse, I have to provide non-standard and confusing instructions like: - # Enable "multiverse" in your apt sources using something like - sudo perl -pi -e 'next if /-backports/; s/^# (deb.* multiverse)$/$1/' /etc/apt/sources.list - # unless you're on an older version of Ubuntu which has a different sources.list format, - # in which case you might need to use something like: - sudo perl -pi -e 's%(universe)$%$1 multiverse%' /etc/apt/sources.list - # then - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools + # Enable "multiverse" in your apt sources using something like + sudo perl -pi -e \ + 'next if /-backports/; s/^# (deb.* multiverse)$/$1/' /etc/apt/sources.list + # unless you're on an older version of Ubuntu which has a different sources.list + # format, in which case you might need to use something like: + sudo perl -pi -e 's%(universe)$%$1 multiverse%' /etc/apt/sources.list + # then + sudo apt-get update && + sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools I would much rather be able to simply say something like: - sudo apt-add-source multiverse && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt- - get install ec2-api-tools + sudo apt-add-source multiverse && + sudo apt-get update && + sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools (I don't care about the name of the tool. I just want it to be easy to provide in instructions.) In addition to "multiverse" it would be nice to support "-backports" and perhaps "partner". Ideally, this would be available for all active Ubuntu releases, but getting it in going forward would be a good start.
