Title:
  apt-add-repository fails when adding Ondrej PHP5 Launchpad Repository

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Hi,
  I was adding Ondrej PHP5 repo and it thrown me following error:

  gpg: /tmp/tmptxhd3gxt/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created

  Found that its issue with specifically Ondrej repos. On digging further found that, its happening because of some special characters present in the name of Ondrej Suri:

  gpg: key E5267A6C: public key "Launchpad PPA for Ond\xc5\x99ej Sur�"
  imported

  
  Only fix I found is to use UTF-8 encoding.
