Bug Description
I tried using add-apt-repository to add "ppa:ubuntu-
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-hams/ppa
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
self.run()
File "/usr/lib/
self.
File "/usr/lib/
'\"
IndexError: list index out of range
Note: As a test, I also tried using add-apt-repository with an empty PPA under my own username (where I have many other PPA's so my key is published) -- that works fine and I see that add-apt-repository does request and retrieve my own PPA publishing key in that case.
Changed in software-properties (Ubuntu): | |
importance: | Undecided → Low |
I have verified that the problem does appear to be caused by the team/user never having uploaded any PPA: Once I uploaded a package to ppa:ubuntu- hams/ppa, the problem disappeared.
