<tt><font size="3">add-apt-repository does two main things :<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="3">- adding the necessary lines in
sources.list.d</font></tt><br>
- retrieving the repository gpg key<br>
<br>
The key retrieval involves connecting to a non standard port (8000
if I remember), which can timeout and fail if you are behind an
unfriendly proxy. I get this each time I add a new ppa on a machine
at work.<br>
<br>
Usually the correct lines are added in sources.list, and the key is
not retrieved.<br>
You can install packages from the repository you just added, but it
will complain each time about untrusted repository.<br>
<br>
The solution is to download the key by another mean, and add it
manually with apt-key.<br>
I don't remember how I do this.<br>
