Public bug reported: add-apt-repository says to hit ctrl-c to cancel adding a PPA. Then it tracebacks when you do:
ubuntu@bysen:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maas/next This PPA holds new upstream development releases, usually development releases. Currently, it is holding the 2.2 series. More info: https://launchpad.net/~maas/+archive/ubuntu/next Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 143, in <module> sys.stdin.readline() KeyboardInterrupt I understand why the trace is generated, but this is ugly (users should never see tracebacks for known conditions, IMO). The KeyboardInterrupt exception should be handled properly like any other exception.
