I uploaded the fix to hardy-proposed now, please test (both for the fix
and for possible regressions) and give me feedback.
Thanks,
Michael
** Description changed:
1.) When running software-properties-gtk on powerpc, it configures
/etc/apt/source.list with archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and
security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, even although those don't carry the powerpc
arch anymore; leaving the system update-wise in a dead-end, thus also
causing the casual non-geek user to miss criticial security updates for
hardy :-/
2.) when calling software-properties-gtk after having configured
/etc/apt/source.list manually for ports.ubuntu.com/, software-
properties-gtk lists the ports.ubunt.com entries as 'third party
software' sources
TEST CASE (without powerpc):
1. use stock hardy install
2. open System/Administraton/Software sources
3. verify that the main page has at least main, restricted ticked
4. click on "Download from" combobox and select "other"
5. verify that a lot of different servers are available
6. install python-apt from hardy-proposed
7. repeat steps 1-5 and verify that they give the same results
+
+ TEST CASE (with powerpc):
