Unable to connect to https://launchpad

Asked by Ryan Chiew

Hi,

I'm having issues connecting to launchpad from our network.

Tried to do a "add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot", it will stalled and when the request is cancelled, it will show that the network is not reachable.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 326, in get_ppa_info
    ret = get_ppa_info_from_lp(user, ppa)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 101, in get_ppa_info_from_lp
    return get_info_from_lp(lp_url)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 95, in get_info_from_lp
    return get_info_from_https(lp_url, True)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 88, in get_info_from_https
    data = _get_https_content_py3(url, accept_json)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 126, in _get_https_content_py3
    raise PPAException("Error reading %s: %s" % (lp_url, reason), e)
softwareproperties.ppa.PPAException: 'Error reading https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~certbot/+archive/ubuntu/certbot: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable'

Have tried to do a traceroute to launchpad.net and it will time out as well. Is there anything that may be blocking the connection?

No, can't access it

ryan@test:~$ curl -4 -v https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~certbot/+archive/ubuntu/certbot

* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed to connect to launchpad.net port 443: Connection timed out

Will it possible to do a ping and trace to 103.119.148.162 to see if the network is reachable?

Hi Ryan, we've had a few routing issues recently that should now be resolved - are you still experiencing this issue?
