Problem with ppa

Asked by Calypoter

When I try to input the ppa I get this error:

Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 60, in run
    self.add_ppa_signing_key(self.ppa_path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 79, in add_ppa_signing_key
    '\"signing_key_fingerprint\": \"(\w*)\"', lp_page)[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

What is wrong?

And is there some better documentation for the ppa, I don't know how I can upload a package (what is that .change file?)?

Is that the output of add-apt-repository?
