[Bug 1657168] [NEW] adding PPA says team or user does not exist if LP is inaccessible

[Jay R. Wren]

Public bug reported:

lxc exec kubernetes — apt-add-repository ppa:conjure-up/next -y
with:
Cannot add PPA: ‘ppa:~conjure-up/ubuntu/next’.
ERROR: ‘~conjure-up’ user or team does not exist.


It would be better to note that the network is down or that launchpad is not accessible.


To reproduce:

lxc launch ubuntu:16.04 kubernetes
lxc exec kubernetes -- ifdown eth0
lxc exec kubernetes — apt-add-repository ppa:conjure-up/next -y
