Cannot add PPA: user or team does not exist Ubuntu 18.04












1















Hi I Installed a new Ubuntu 18.04 for the first time in my VM and trying to run below command:



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum


It throws below error:



Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~ethereum/ubuntu/ethereum'.
ERROR: '~ethereum' user or team does not exist.


The command



sudo apt-get install software-properties-common


runs fine.



I tried to reinstall all ca-certs but nothing helped. there is no proxy configured as well.



In fact any PPA repository I try to add it throws the same error user or team does not exits.



Any guidance in this regard will be of great help as it has become a showstopper for us.
