how to check additional repositories are added correctly; badgerports

I want to try the latest mono release on ubuntu and the only way is to either install from source (gave me major problems) or add a dedicated source to /etc/apt/sources.list.

So I followed the instructions here http://directhex.mfgames.com/hardy.html
including the gpg key bit in the Software Sources GUI and tried to sudo apt-get install mono, no dice.

Opened /etc/apt/sources.list and found the deb line had been commented out (any idea why??) uncommented it and .... same, mono package not found.

So, how can I check that the new source is *active* for apt-get ?

has anyone else encountered this issue or used badgerports ?
