This is an issue in PackageKit aptcc. Contacted upstream to see what they can do about it.
What do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ? Because all theses entries are parsed fine by aptcc
Created attachment 110909 [details] Discover displays and what's in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* Attaching a screenshot showing what Discover displays and what's in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
And there it is: download.opensuse.org and section "./" not sure there is something to fix, maybe showing the repo-id? or baming opensuse for their weird/maybe wrong repo line.
(In reply to Daniel Nicoletti from comment #4) > What do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ? > Because all theses entries are parsed fine by aptcc In regards to my original screenshot on Kubuntu 17.10: andrew@andrew-XPS-13-9360:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ gns3-ubuntu-ppa-artful.list gns3-ubuntu-ppa-artful.list.save kubuntu-ppa-ubuntu-backports-artful.list kubuntu-ppa-ubuntu-backports-artful.list.save libreoffice-ubuntu-ppa-artful.list libreoffice-ubuntu-ppa-artful.list.save lutris.list lutris.list.save megasync.list megasync.list.save paulo-miguel-dias-ubuntu-pkppa-artful.list paulo-miguel-dias-ubuntu-pkppa-artful.list.save peek-developers-ubuntu-stable-artful.list plasmazilla-ubuntu-releases-artful.list plasmazilla-ubuntu-releases-artful.list.save teamviewer.list teamviewer.list.save wireshark-dev-ubuntu-stable-artful.list wireshark-dev-ubuntu-stable-artful.list.save I found it. It's the lutris.list one for me. Ugh. I'd like to request the more verbose method of listing repos, as stated in 390570 (which was marked as duplicate of this bug): I'd like to recommend at least including the base domain name in the source description. So instead of: Artful (contrib) It would be: Artful virtualbox.org (contrib) This would work well for the default Ubuntu repos as well: Artful updates (multiverse) Would become: Artful updates ubuntu.com (multiverse) Or, put the base domain name first, whatever you think is best. Either way, it would be more descriptive, without cluttering the interface with the full URL like before.
@Daniel there definitely is something to fix. I'd say that at least the domain should always be shown as to who is distributing the software and "." is never an acceptable description of the repository anyway. I agree that apt semantics don't make it easy... :/
with only domain names shown, there will be a bunch of ppa.launchpad.net's by some users. I'm quite ok with full urls, like "http://ppa.launchpad.net/obsproject/obs-studio/ubuntu xenial InRelease". What about a letting user to decide, what he want to see shown?
