Public bug reported: On Focal, in an automated environment (such as a launchpad builder), a used can do the following workflow:

Digging through changelogs, I see various entries in Impish forward, starting with version 0.99.0 where a refactor was done. using `--login` is not possible in an automated setup (such as a builder) as it starts an OAuth dance, which requires human interaction. this will break existing automation utilizing apt-add-repository for users when migrating to Jammy ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965180 Title: apt-add-repository requires --login for private repos, breaking automated workflows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1965180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
