[Bug 1372086] Re: add-apt-repository hits softwareproperties.ppa.PPAException when trying to add a ppa which doesn't exist

 

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
