Bug Description

I am using Feisty Fawn Beta. This bug is reproducible

adding the following line to repositories in Synaptic Package Manager :

deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/democracy/linux/repositories/ubuntu edgy

(with a missing slash at the end...)

makes synaptic package manager to crash

with the final characther the load of repositories is ok. (although for the loading of democracy player in feisty there are missing dependencies...but this is not a bug)

I confirm this with Gutsy Gibbom and the KDE adept manager in the case I missed the "deb" repository type at the beginning of the line.
I added the repository with the friendly "Manage repository" application.
