Title:
Enabling new pockets does not enable deb-src for them, even if source
code is enabled
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in software-properties source package in Noble:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
If you have Source Code enabled, and you change the pockets configuration to
"all pockets", it will add -backports without source code. The Source Code flag
will still be set in the UI, but after a reload, you can see it is in a mixed
state.
This is more notable now, because this splits up the deb822 paragraph
into two: One for the deb, and one for deb-src, whereas it should
remain one.
[Test plan]
1. Turn on source code, save and refresh sources, close app
2. Start again, observe the flag is on.
3. Turn "recommended updates" to "all updates", observe that -backports got
added with deb-src (formerly this said: to the existing paragraph, this is now
tracked in bug 2084568)
4. Restart the app and observe that the flag is still on.
[Where problems could occur]
This incurs a performance regression, as we need to check the state of the
source code flag after reloading sources. That said, this is of course
necessary for the source code flag to be correct after reloading modified
sources (it gets reset to False when reloading). And since we run in a dbus
service, we may just be reloading without having made the changes ourselves, so
we can't just cache the old value and restore it.
That said, software-properties already times out on my oracular
system.
