fill in a description of your issue -- be specific!

I get the following output upon trying to add the ppa

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 362, in <module>

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'people'

The ppa object representation seems to be missing an 'lp' property.
