As you can see in the details, I was missing the trailing 'a' in PPA here, it had been cut off during copy + paste. So the repository location was incorrect, but the application should probably not crash so hard.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
