Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
In trying to report a bug in samba, reportbug told me samba was not the latest
version.
To correct this, I attempted to change repositories, first by 'sed -i
/s/wheezy/sid/g /etc/apt/sources.list' and then by changing repository url from
synaptic.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
In Synaptic I used Settings -> Repositories to change from debian.osuosl.org to
ftp.debian.org and noticed during 'Reload' action that the uri reported in
'Downloading Package Information' dialog was unchanged (still debian.osuosl.org)
Changes to the Repositories via software-properties-gtk mangle sources.list in
wierd ways. At one point ALL entries in sources.list were commented-out but
apt-get update was still pulling from ftp.debian.org while synaptic was from
debian.osuosl.org
* What was the outcome of this action?
Cannot choose repositories and expect the changes to be respected. Cannot use
synaptic.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Expected changes done in software-properties-gtk to be reflected in
sources.list and respected by APT.
