Subject: python-software-properties: Exception when add-apt-repository PPA
Package: python-software-properties
Version: 0.76.7debian2+nmu1
Severity: normal
I tried to add the Ubuntu Wine repository using the command line
suggested on
the Wine Wiki, but it failed:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 65, in <module>
if not sp.add_source_from_line(line):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 630, in
add_source_from_line
(deb_line, file) = expand_ppa_line(line.strip(), self.distro.codename)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py",
line 47,
in expand_ppa_line
sourceslistd = apt_pkg.Config.find_dir("Dir::Etc::sourceparts")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Config'
If PPA repositories are not supported in base Debian, an appropriate error
message should be displayed. Otherwise I'd expect that the new repository is
added to sources.list or the sources.list.d directory.
