This is a crash that recently started appearing in the Error Tracker the Traceback contains the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 168, in if not sp.add_source_from_shortcut(shortcut, options.enable_source): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 777, in add_source_from_shortcut raise shortcuts.ShortcutException(msg) softwareproperties.shortcuts.ShortcutException: Failed to add key. Looking at the code added in the SRU to xenial (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/309920080/software- properties_0.96.24.7_0.96.24.7.1.diff.gz) we can see the following: @@ -753,6 +769,13 @@ if worker: # wait for GPG key to be downloaded worker.join(30) +if worker.isAlive(): +# thread timed out. +raise shortcuts.ShortcutException("Error: retrieving gpg key timed out.") +result, msg = self.myqueue.get() +if not result: +raise shortcuts.ShortcutException(msg) + if self.options and self.options.update: import apt cache = apt.Cache() It looks to me like this ShortcutException is raised when for whatever reason the client application fails to retrieve the key. I don't think there is anything we can do about this and as such don't think it should be reported to the Error Tracker at all. The apport package hook for software-properties could filter out Tracebacks with this error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687122 Title: /usr/bin/add-apt-repository:OSError:/usr/bin/add-apt- repository@168:add_source_from_shortcut:/usr/bin/add-apt- repository@172 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1687122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
