Public bug reported: Updated an 11.04 installation to 11.10 and then went to install the Cinnamon desktop environment using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:merlwiz79/cinnamon-ppa The result was this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 88, in <module> ppa_info = get_ppa_info_from_lp(user, ppa_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 80, in get_ppa_info_from_lp curl.perform() pycurl.error: (35, 'gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.') It does not appear to be linked to the particular repository, rather it appears to be a bug in the add-apt-repository command or the pycurl library.
