This is because by default, git doesn't know what "lp:" stands for.

Edit your ~/.gitconfig and add this:

[url "git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/"]
    insteadof = lp:

If your computer's username is not the same as your launchpad ID, add these
instead:

[url "git+ssh://<your-launchpad-id>@git.launchpad.net/"]
    insteadof = lp:
[url "git+ssh://<your-launchpad-id>@git.launchpad.net/"]
    insteadof = git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/

This is because you should be using the `git.launchpad.net` URL instead of
the `code.launchpad.net` URL.


Hope this helps!
