GetDeb/PlayDeb broken on Maverick (maybe earlier too?)

 

Hello,

I just noticed when adding the GetDeb repository using the .deb package provided, that apturl's refresh option is broken/removed now. For instance, if you add the repo on a 'clean install', and quickly after click on Songbird's install link on the website, the software center opens and shows a 'not found' error. If you manually apt-get update and then try again, it works fine this time.

I tried this on Maverick, which has Software Center replacing the old .deb installer UI. This may affect Lucid too, I don't remember if it had the old UI or just Software Center too.

I guess we will need to return to offering a patched apturl on the website, until natty comes out and has this fixed. We should fill a bug for this so it gets fixed by natty too.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
