Solved: "add-apt-repository: command not found"

Post by sander »

FYI:

I installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 in a virtual machine. Trying to add the SABnzbd PPA, I got:

Code: Select all

sander@haring:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/ppa
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
sander@haring:~$ 
sander@haring:~$ uname -a
Linux haring 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 22:19:09 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
sander@haring:~$
Solved with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
After that, "add-apt-repository" was known and I could add the PPA
