Title:
  'urlopen error' using add-apt-repository

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm trying to follow the instructions for installing FreeNX
  (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX) and I'm getting an error if
  I use add-apt-repository command:

  root at desktopserver:/etc/gdm# time add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
  <urlopen error [Errno -2] Nome ou serviço desconhecido>

  real	0m40.586s
  user	0m0.568s
  sys	0m0.060s

  But it seems that the repository was added:

  root at desktopserver:~# ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
  freenx-team-ppa-karmic.list  freenx-team-ppa-karmic.list.save
