Error : Running add-apt repository ppa:

Question

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and I'm running this command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio

and I'm getting this error:

I've even tried reinstalling ca-certificates, but after that the same error occurs.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates

Please post text files and program output listings as text, not as images (see How do I save terminal output to a file?). — David Foerster, May 24 '16 at 12:20
Possible duplicate of apt-get update fails to fetch files, “Temporary failure resolving …” error – It's about apt-get instead of add-apt-repository but the underlying issue and its solution(s) are the same. — David Foerster, May 24 '16 at 12:22

I was able to add it using the command above. The error message indicates that the host where the repository is stored is not resolvable by your DNS server. But I think that's probably a red-herring. Deleting the ca-certificates and then reinstalling them should work;

rm -rf /usr/share/ca-certificates

apt-get --reinstall install ca-certificates

I tried it but not working. – hodophile May 12 '16 at 19:21
Okay, I'm not sure. Here's a dumb question, but after you added the repository you did an apt-get update? If you want a workaround you can install the .deb file with the instructions here: https://github.com/PaoloRotolo/android-studio/releases – CareFree May 13 '16 at 13:48
