[Bug 1372086] Re: add-apt-repository hits softwareproperties.ppa.PPAException when trying to add a ppa which doesn't exist

This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.96.13

---------------
software-properties (0.96.13) wily; urgency=medium

  * Properly parse a ppa which has a leading slash, something which a lot of
    people seem use as an argument to add-apt-repository. (LP: #1426933)
