It seems this problem also occurs, if you don't configure your firewall
right. I allowed outgoing TCP/UDP connections on port 11371 and
everything worked fine afterwards.

I found that copying my http_proxy setting to https_proxy fixed the

Title:
add-apt-repository insists on downloading GPG key even if
This seems worth noting:

#the load

[apt-key, adv, --keyserver, keyserver.ubuntu.com,
Clarification of Heiko's workaround:
- you need to set https_proxy
- you may need to set it to http://my-proxy-host; not https://my-proxy-host;
(which is what Ubuntu sets it to by default)
- beware that 'sudo add-apt-repository' might load a new shell and overwrite
the environment; use 'sudo

This is a serious problem with or without proxy. I don't use proxy but I suffer
this problem often.
keyserver.ubuntu.com is down frequently but add-apt-repository isn't smart
enough to seek the key in another server.
What's happens with keyserver.ubuntu.com lately? It fails too
Try exporting the https_proxy environment variable in addition to
http_proxy (without s). I found that suggestion in

Heikos workaround din't work for me.
I do have http _and_ https set though the gui anyway (check-box at use
same settings for all protocols).

I ran into this issue myself, but I am not using a proxy, I believe the
keyserver was just down. Perhaps a shorter timeout (5-10 seconds), a
helpful error message that says something like Cannot reach the
keyserver at this time, please try again later. Note that the repository
has been added
Sounds like this utility to make things easier doesn't really make it
easier (at least from behind a proxy).

Work-around for at least the proxy issue:
After you run add-apt-repository and it hangs, it's already set up the repo. I
did let it sit for awhile and it will eventually time out, but it's several
minutes at least.
So, if you cancel out and run 'sudo apt-get update'
Apt-get will complain that
It looks like add-apt-repository doesn't seem to set the http_proxy
variable for GPG, so if you're behind a proxy the keyserver is always
'down'. The process hangs and the only signal it seems to respond to is
