** Also affects: software-properties
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

  For example:
  
  apt-add-repository ppa:sevenmachines/release+1
  
  creates a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sevenmachines-
  release+1-lucid.list.
  
  However, man sources.list says
  
  File names need to end with .list and may only contain letters (a-z and
  A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-) and period (.)
  characters. Otherwise they will be silently ignored.
  
- So that's what happens.
+ So therefore this newly created list file is silently ignored (verify by
+ apt-get update and looking in /var/lib/apt/lists)
  
  Ubuntu 10.04
  python-software-properties 0.75.10
