How do I add a PPA in a libertine container?

Question

I am trying to install Corebird (Corebird twitter client for Ubuntu 14.04) in a libertine container named vivid on my M10 tablet. After adding the PPA's, which do show up in ~/.cache/libertine-container/vivid/rootfs/etc/apt/sources.list.d the package still won't install.

I have tried:

libertine-container-manager install-package -d vivid -p corebird

And from within a shell (Access git in libertine container) inside the container:

apt-get install

What am I missing here?

I suspect it might not be possible to do this yet.

From going through libertine-container-manager --help I think the command should be

libertine-container-manager configure -a "ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/corebird" -i vivid

The equivalent of apt-get update is just

libertine-container-manager update -i vivid

You'll find this and more with libertine-container-manager --help.

However when I execute the first command I get the following error:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ libertine-container-manager configure -a "ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/corebird" -i vivid

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Thank you for the correct syntax. That part works for me, now I'm looking for the equivalent of apt-get update. I think the error you got is due to the fact that the default libertine container isn't writable. — Jurjen, Jun 05 '16 at 15:43
Ah. I had tried in my vivid container too but it didn't work. I must try again later. I tried with different ppa's and the default container just to double check syntax errors -> that's the output I incorrectly pasted above.

Well, I'm a bit further on the proper commands now. Unfortunately the package still can't be located. Pointers to log files are welcome. — Jurjen, Jun 05 '16 at 18:40
So you don't get the errors that I do? That's interesting, could you link to a paste of what your output is? — Jack, Jun 05 '16 at 18:57
Yeah, I should have kept the output but I didn't, sorry about that. I can't repeat the package addition, it just returned: ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/corebird already added in container. — Jurjen, Jun 05 '16 at 19:04
This is what I get: ~$ libertine-container-manager configure -a "ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/stable-phone-overlay" -i vivid gpg: keyring '/tmp/tmpznsrykv2/secring.gpg' created gpg: keyring '/tmp/tmpznsrykv2/pubring.gpg' created gpg: requesting key ECF1204C from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: /tmp/tmpznsrykv2/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created gpg: key ECF1204C: public key "Launchpad PPA for CI Train PPA Service Team" imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1) OK — Jurjen, Jun 05 '16 at 19:17
"Unfortunately the package still can't be located." ok, does that just mean that there isn't an arm build available? Sounds like it might. Can we test with a ppa and app that would be available in arm? — Jack, Jun 05 '16 at 23:41
I'm giving up on this one for now. Nice learning experience, thanks for your help so far! — Jurjen, Jun 06 '16 at 19:24
Hey Jack, have you found a solution? I tried a different workaround which gave some more error output. http://askubuntu.com/questions/826110/how-to-install-seafile-within-libertine-container — eDeviser, Sep 18 '16 at 19:48
