[14:01] <major_> Hello there
[14:01] <major_> I am trying to add a ppa to my Ubuntu system, however, I am getting an error like `The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/hanipouspilot/rtlwifi/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file.`
[14:03] <major_> Anyone there?
[14:03] <cjwatson> major_: It's up to the person who runs the PPA in question to make packages available for particular Ubuntu releases.  You'll need to contact them.
[14:04] <cjwatson> We just host it.
[14:05] <major_> But, I downloaded it some months ago on another system, running the same release
[14:06] <cjwatson> major_: That PPA has never published any packages for artful.
[14:06] <cjwatson> major_: You could try manually editing the relevant sources.list entry to say "xenial" rather than "artful", I suppose, and hope for the best.
[16:21] <willem> cjwatson, Thank you! That's good to know. I solved (avoided) the OOPS by removing the labels I had entered in the bug-form. Then the form was accepted, and I could enter the labels by editing then appropriate fields.
