[Bug 829109] Re: add-apt-repository - New confirmation dialog breaks existing scripts

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.81.9

---------------
software-properties (0.81.9) oneiric; urgency=low

  * lp:~gandelman-a/software-properties/lp829109 :
    - add "-y" to add-apt-repository (LP: #829109). This can be
      used to avoid the confirmation prompt. Alternatively you
      can redirect stdin to /dev/null for skipping of the confirmation
