< SOLVED > Problem when Adding PPA's

[gold_finger]

Thanks Valtam.

Problem solved with solution on post #4 of that bug report -- just downgraded package to "python-software-properties=0.82.7" from current "0.82.7.7".  Will probably just upgrade back to original now that I'm done adding PPA's.

I take it this is on that old pc from the youtube thread?

Yes -- I guess this is another thing to keep in mind for these older CPU's.


EDIT:  For anyone facing same problem on older computer when trying to add PPA's, here is the command to downgrade the package which will allow you to add PPA's without error.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties=0.82.7

A few posts down from here you'll see that I reverted back to the newer package after adding PPA was successfully completed.  So, if you want to do that also here is command that will upgrade to the newest version again.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Unless something else goes wrong, my personal plan is to just temporarily downgrade while adding a PPA; then revert back to the updated package afterwards.  I have no idea whether keeping the downgraded version will affect anything else in the system, so I think it's better to just put everything back the way it was just in case.
