Title:
Misleading error message when adding PPA source
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Please add the exception message to stdout, preferably in all cases
where an exception is caught.
When trying to add a ppa source, following error message was displayed
~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~ubuntu-toolchain-r/ubuntu/test'.
ERROR: '~ubuntu-toolchain-r' user or team does not exist.
After reading code and adding print statements in ppa.py, came to following
exception:
'Error reading
https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test: [SSL:
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:645)'
Exception was thrown by 'get_ppa_info_from_lp(user, ppa)' called in
'get_ppa_info(shortcut)'
This has nothing to do with user or team, but was due to wrong
time/date setting on my machine.
Googling found that there are more users with the same problem having
a different root-cause (e.g. proxy server settings)
