apt-select fail to parse sources.list with a specific arch

[epaul13]

In my sources.list I select [arch=amd64] which breaks apt-select parsing. if I remove [arch=amd64] it works fine.

For instance:

    deb [arch=amd64] http://mymirror/ubuntu trusty main restricted

The problem is in __confirm_apt_source_uri

Thanks for reporting this. The parsing of sources.list has never considered [option=value] in the URI, which was an oversight.

You're welcome. You're not the first one to oversight a spec ;) Anyway apt-select is very handy. Thanks for that. 2016-12-12 6:47 GMT+01:00 John Blakeman <notifications@github.com>:

@epaul13 Thank you for point this out. My similar project was also affected, and my commit
martin68/apt-smart@6c8b911
should fix it. Since this issue is open for almost 3 years without a fix, you can try my similar project: apt-smart
