Icecat checkbox in Software Sources doesn’t work properly

Description
Clicking the checkbox for GNU Icecat in Software Sources doesn’t change it visibly, although the repository does get changed.

Steps to reproduce: - Open Software Sources - Open the Updates tab - Click on the GNU Icecat (deltah-icecat) checkbox

Result: The checkbox does not become checked. The Revert button is enabled, which means something has changed. If you didn’t have the Icecat repo before, you will see it now under the Third-Party Software tab. If you did have it before, it is now gone.

Expected result: The above but with a visible change to the checkbox: checked when the repo is added, unchecked when the repo is removed.

Status
Closed
Importance
4
Target Release
none
Resolution
Hopefully fixed in the next builder run.

Is this on a cleanly installed 2.2 or an upgraded 2.{0,1}? kgoetz

Happens in cleany installed 2.2. tch

It works when you add the following to /usr/share/python-apt/templates/gNewSense.info:

 MatchURI: gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/debian
