[Adam Conrad]

Something like this (untested) should do the trick.

Title:
  apt-add-repository fails

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:maas-maintainers/dailybuilds -y       
  gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpf0nr53/secring.gpg' created
  gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpf0nr53/pubring.gpg' created
  gpg: requesting key 93EE8CC5 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
  gpg: fatal: /home/ubuntu/.gnupg: directory does not exist!
  secmem usage: 1408/1408 bytes in 2/2 blocks of pool 1408/32768

  If I do create .gnupg for it, then:
  $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:maas-maintainers/dailybuilds -y
  gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp54k44x/secring.gpg' created
  gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp54k44x/pubring.gpg' created
  gpg: requesting key 93EE8CC5 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
  gpg: /home/ubuntu/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
  gpg: key 93EE8CC5: public key "Launchpad PPA for MaaS Maintainers" imported
  gpg: Total number processed: 1
  gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
  gpg: keyring `/home/ubuntu/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created
  OK

  but
  a.) its still noisy
  b.) I now have root owned files in my .gnupg directory:
  $ ls -l .gnupg/
  total 4
  -rw------- 1 root root    0 Oct  2 17:08 secring.gpg
  -rw------- 1 root root 1200 Oct  2 17:08 trustdb.gpg
