My Ubuntu 16.04 system does not have a default gateway. Instead, I have configured apt-get to use an HTTP proxy.
Today I tried to add a ppa. $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-prereleases Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~libreoffice/ubuntu/libreoffice-prereleases'. ERROR: '~libreoffice' user or team does not exist. The error message is incorrect. ~libreoffice does exist. A better error message would be something like: ERROR: unable to connect to remote host <hostname> To reproduce the problem, simply run "sudo route del default", and then try to add a new ppa with add-apt-repository.
