[Rajib]

Public bug reported:

Whenever I tried to add some ppa repository through command line e.g. 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/gnome3
it gives me the following output.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 77, in <module>
    ppa_info = get_ppa_info_from_lp(user, ppa_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 65, in get_ppa_info_from_lp
    lp_page = urlopen(req).read()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 394, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 412, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 372, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)

    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPSConnection, req)
