Public bug reported: I was trying to add the oneiric-proposed pocket to my /etc/apt/sources.list with add-apt-repository instead of using vi. I was using the following command:
sudo apt-add-repository "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric- proposed main universe" and the following line appeared in my sources.list deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric oneiric-proposed main universe deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric oneiric-proposed main universe Notice that oneiric was added before oneiric-proposed. The documentation for add-apt-repository indicates that: <sourceline> - The apt repository source line to add. This is one of: a complete apt line in quotes, I did provide a complete apt line and it was modified by apt-add- repository and now I can't run 'apt-get updates'.
