[Bug 861258] Re: add-apt-repository crashed with ValueError in raw_decode(): No JSON object could be decoded

[Robert Roth]

Can you still reproduce this? Based on the description and the traceback
it should've been caused by some temporary server issue. That could be
treated better indeed, but there's no easy way to test it.
