adding PPA says team or user does not exist if LP is inaccessible

[Jay R. Wren]

lxc exec kubernetes — apt-add-repository ppa:conjure-up/next -y
with:
Cannot add PPA: ‘ppa:~conjure-up/ubuntu/next’.
ERROR: ‘~conjure-up’ user or team does not exist.

It would be better to note that the network is down or that launchpad is not accessible.

To reproduce:

lxc launch ubuntu:16.04 kubernetes
lxc exec kubernetes -- ifdown eth0
lxc exec kubernetes — apt-add-repository ppa:conjure-up/next -y

the ppa is active: https://launchpad.net/~conjure-up/+archive/ubuntu/next
so the script seems failing doing its job (maybe against https)

Yes, the bug is that the error message is deceptive if the host network is
down.
