Description Ben Aceler 2007-08-10 19:35:33 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I added a new source, I forget to say "deb", so I say:

http://mirror.yandex.ru/ubuntu feisty main 

instead of

deb http://mirror.yandex.ru/ubuntu feisty main 

and Adept adds this line to sources.list! This cause adept crashing when fetching new source and it was not able to start later.

Adept have to check what he trying to write in sources.list!

This is indeed something that needs to be fixed, however: there is currently no sources editor integrated into Adept on the version 3 development branch (users are referred to use external software-properties utility) and it won't be there for 3.0 release. I'm marking this as 3.1 for now, therefore.

Adept has been in the unmaintained state for a few years.  Use muon[1] as replacement .
