Hi Robert, Maybe I was not clear enough. You or anyone else will have no problems with any of the repositories listed above. Only repository creator will have problems adding his own PPA and it may be so that the problem will be visible on one single machine only.
It may be related to: * the repository being created on the same machine that was used to generate repository key?? * the repository being created while simultaneously being logged in to the launchpad with the owner account of the repository?? So steps to reproduce will be: 1) Create new launchpad account (maybe optional?) 2) Create key (maybe optional?) 2) Create new PPA 3) Upload something to the PPA and wait for build to finish (may be optional?) 4) add-apt-repository with this PPA By the way, now at https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA I see something new: "Launchpad generates a unique key for each PPA and uses it to sign any packages built in that PPA." - if it is some new addition then it may be related to this bug. If I recall correctly I had to create and upload a key to sign the PPA, it was not autogenerated. Unfortunately I don't use Ubuntu anymore at the moment but if this will be of help I may restore old installation e.g. on weekend.
