Presumably the add-apt-repository command failed while trying to add a private PPA here due to you not being authorized to access it (maybe not logged in?), can you tell us which PPA did you try to add?

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Nevermind, a non-existent or private PPA has been tried to add and software-properties should properly surface the error to you.
