Note that this was due to a very specialized kind of outage, namely where the machine-readable API description file fetched from api.launchpad.net refers to api.launchpad.test (which only exists in some development setups and shouldn't be referred to from production). This part of the problem was on us (the Launchpad team), and we've fixed it.
It's also a little surprising, since we had other reports of clients (including at least one that was also running Ubuntu 22.04) instead raising the rather clearer `httplib2.error.ServerNotFoundError: Unable to find the server at api.launchpad.test` (still a bit confusing of course, but it points to the problem about as well as it can). I don't know why `socket.getaddrinfo` would raise `EBUSY` in this case, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2024926 Title: add-apt-repository has a misleading error message when the launchpad api is down Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On Ubuntu 22.04.2 Package software-properties-common 0.99.22.7 During the launchpad outage on the 23rd June 2023, add-apt-repository was crashing with the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 364, in <module> sys.exit(0 if addaptrepo.main() else 1) File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 347, in main shortcut = handler(source, **shortcut_params) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/shortcuts.py", line 40, in shortcut_handler return handler(shortcut, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 82, in __init__ if self.lpppa.publish_debug_symbols: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 120, in lpppa self._lpppa = self.lpteam.getPPAByName(name=self.ppaname) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 107, in lpteam self._lpteam = self.lp.people(self.teamname) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 98, in lp self._lp = login_func("%s.%s" % (self.__module__, self.__class__.__name__), File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/launchpadlib/launchpad.py", line 494, in login_anonymously return cls( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/launchpadlib/launchpad.py", line 230, in __init__ super(Launchpad, self).__init__( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/resource.py", line 477, in __init__ self._browser.get(root_resource), 'application/json') File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/_browser.py", line 439, in get response, content = self._request(url, extra_headers=headers) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/_browser.py", line 389, in _request response, content = self._request_and_retry( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/_browser.py", line 359, in _request_and_retry response, content = self._connection.request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1725, in request (response, content) = self._request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/launchpadlib/launchpad.py", line 144, in _request response, content = super(LaunchpadOAuthAwareHttp, self)._request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/_browser.py", line 184, in _request return super(RestfulHttp, self)._request( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1441, in _request (response, content) = self._conn_request(conn, request_uri, method, body, headers) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1363, in _conn_request conn.connect() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1139, in connect address_info = socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, socket.SOCK_STREAM) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/socket.py", line 955, in getaddrinfo for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags): OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy This was misleading as it seemed to indicate a problem with the client and not with the server.
