Has anyone found a way around this bug? It's become increasingly annoying and appears that the pycurl (or GNUTLS packages used by pycurl) bugs are affecting several other programs as well. For instance, running an SVN or Git checkout over HTTPS fails, trying to curl or wget a file over HTTPS fails, I can't add PPA repositories with the proper tool, and several other things using HTTPS seem to randomly fail. I've run several new clean installs on multiple machines and all have this bug. Even my HP TouchPad, which I've installed the ARM version of 11.10 on, has this bug.
As for PPA's, I've been installing them to /etc/apt/sources.list in the form: Before: ppa:<user>/<repo> Add to sources.list: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/<user>/<repo>/ubuntu oneiric main Then sudo apt-get update and download whatever packages you want. The problem with this method is you never install the public key and so everything you install comes up as untrusted and Update Manager refuses to install them. You can force install using apt-get on the command line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926548 Title: add-apt-repository fails with gnutls_handshake error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pycurl/+bug/926548/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
