that's easy to hit, just try to add a non existing ppa, e.g "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/name"
software-properties used to handle that correctly in trusty and display an message about the invalid ppa rather than an exception

This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.96.13
---------------
software-properties (0.96.13) wily; urgency=medium
* Properly parse a ppa which has a leading slash, something which a lot of
people seem use as an argument to add-apt-repository. (LP: #1426933)
