Title:
Difficult to know why we can't find signing_key_fingerprint for a PPA
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've created a PPA, but I haven't uploaded anything yet. On my development
machine I tried to add the PPA using apt-apt-repository and I got the following
error message:
«Error: can't find signing_key_fingerprint at
https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~joerlend.schinstad/+archive/testing»
I thought I'd done something wrong, so I asked in #Launchpad where it
was explained to me that keys aren't generated until the first upload.
That sounds reasonable, but I think it should be easier to know why
add-apt-repository fails. I also think it should be explained in pages
like this one:
