Screenshot showing the visible update sites

The update UI prevents me from adding an update site that supposedly already exists. However, when looking at which sites are configured, this URL/update site doesn't shop up (see screenshot).

The update site has been used some time ago in this workspace but has been removed at some point in time. 

As a consequence, I'm not able to add this update site to Eclipse anymore.

Potentially the same problem as bug 338495. (a composite repository's child repo prevents the explicit addition of the child URL to the repo list)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
