Bug Description
Updated an 11.04 installation to 11.10 and then went to install the Cinnamon desktop environment using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:merlwiz79/
The result was this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/
ppa_info = get_ppa_
File "/usr/lib/
curl.perform()
pycurl.error: (35, 'gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.')
It does not appear to be linked to the particular repository, rather it appears to be a bug in the add-apt-repository command or the pycurl library. I found one reference to a similar issue here:
