I found that add-apt-repository calls SoftwareProperties().add_source_from_line(line)
In /usr/share/pyshared/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py I found self.sourceslist.list.append(new_deb_entry) self.sourceslist.list.append(new_debsrc_entry) I think it would be better to call self.sourceslist.add(), since it avoids duplicates. The add() function requires more arguments, but the only ones I had to hard-code were elsewhere in SoftwareProperties.py anyway. I've included a patch (against 0.80.9 through 0.82) which seems to make thing work nicely. I hard-coded deb, deb-src, and main. ** Patch added: "patch to SoftwareProperties.py to make add_source_from_line idempotent" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/854841/+attachment/2611651/+files/SoftwareProperties.py.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854841 Title: add-apt-repository will write duplicate entries to /etc/apt/sources.list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/854841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
