Yes, the bug is that the error message is deceptive if the host network is
down.

Title:
  adding PPA says team or user does not exist if LP is inaccessible

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
