Title:
add-apt-repository sometimes crashes when SIGINT (Ctrl+C) is sent:
crashed with ImportError in get_ppa_info_from_lp(): No module named
'pycurl'
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
It appears add-apt-repository will sometimes crash instead of properly
terminating, when SIGINT is sent (e.g., by Ctrl_C being pressed).
This crash happened when I entered a "sudo add-apt-repository ..."
command with a typo in the name of the PPA I was adding. This crash
was probably not triggered even partially by special syntax--the typo
was just a misspelling.
The expected behavior would be for add-apt-repository not to crash
when Ctrl+C is pressed (or when SIGINT is otherwise sent). Whether or
not any substantive cleanup is performed when Ctrl+C is pressed, it
should be considered a bug for an actual crash to occur in response to
it. The primary negative impact of this bug on users is probably that,
on most stable systems, Apport/Whoopsie runs when a crash occurs. But
even if the crash were silent, it is still a bug.
With that said, this is unlikely to be a serious bug. Its impact is
minimal, it does not ever prevent add-apt-repository from being used
effectively, and add-apt-repository does terminate when Ctrl+C is
given (it just crashes sometimes while doing so). Furthermore, add-
apt-repository probably only crashes some of the time--rather than
every time--that SIGINT is sent.
