The reason of the bug is that :
1. In softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py, a thread is created
def check_and_add_key_for_whitelisted_channels(self, srcline):
[...]
if parsed_uri.netloc == 'ppa.launchpad.net':
worker = AddPPASigningKeyThread(parsed_uri.path)
worker.start()
2. When failing in method add_ppa_signing_key of AddPPASigningKeyThread class,
it prints an error and return False :
[...]
except URLError, e:
print "Error reading %s: %s" % (lp_url, e)
return False
3. But the return code generated by the thread is nowhere managed. In fact, two
lines are inconditionnaly added in source file :
def add_source_from_line(self, line):
[...]
self.check_and_add_key_for_whitelisted_channels(deb_line)
self.sourceslist.list.append(new_deb_entry)
self.sourceslist.list.append(new_debsrc_entry)
Hope it helps...
