Unable to add PPA for Python 3.7 / Ubuntu 18.04 / arm64 #179

description

We had been using the PPA as a way to install the latest Python 3.7 on our Ubuntu Bionic Docker images for our application. Recently with some of our developers switching to M1 Macs, we've looked at building multi-arch versions of these Docker images.

We're running into an issue where Ubuntu will fail to add the PPA when running on arm64:

root@95ea002ef625:/# add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~deadsnakes/ubuntu/ppa'.
ERROR: '~deadsnakes' user or team does not exist.

Looking at the pool of packages, it does seem like arm64 packages for that combination do exist.

that particular error message happens long before it gets to the ppa part -- it's failing on some network lookup to launchpad (perhaps an internal proxy or similar is blocking it?)

the packages are present and I've verified they work so this is something on your end
