** Description changed: This is common in an environment where a proxy server is not properly configured via HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY and you need to add a PPA. The error is very cryptic unless you look at the code: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:anonymous/very-important-packages Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~anonymous/ubuntu/very-important-packages'.
