This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.96.24.25 --------------- software-properties (0.96.24.25) bionic; urgency=medium
* ppa.py: - rework key retrieval, instead of using hkp & gnupg/dirmngr, use https & python's built in urllib. - thus, add-apt-key for PPAs observes https_proxy for key retrieval - simplify gnupg operations, depend on gpg package only, and use import/public key operations only. - fix unicode process output bugs, when operating in a non-UTF-8 locale, thus enabling to import keys for my ppas in C locale. - avoid creating trustdb, or requiring any gpg-agent systemd socket to be activated - update tests to execute key addition fully with less things stubbed out with mock - stop using apt-key for installing keys - dirmngr is a heavy dependency and not used, and it is hard to pass proxy information to it when invoking gpg from a non-standard homedir - deprecate --keyserver option, making HTTPS access to keyserver.ubuntu.com required - LP: #1755192, LP: #1713962, LP: #1699086, LP: #1510220, LP: #1433761, LP: #1395321, LP: #1312267 -- Dimitri John Ledkov <x...@ubuntu.com> Mon, 02 Apr 2018 10:19:34 +0100 ** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699086 Title: add-apt-repository crashes on non-ascii names in PGP keys Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When adding the PHP 7.1 repo into Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I get the following error.
