I have just added the Handbrake PPA to my Ubuntu system using apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases as root. I've then run apt-get update but whenever I run this I get the following line in the output:

Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-releases/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_GB

I assume that this means that this URL is being ignored for some reason. When I try and run apt-get install handbrake it tells me that there is nowhere to install it from.

What am I doing wrong?

  • try sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk

  • I cannot believe that it was that simple - doh! Actually, a serious question: the list of packages on the PPA page (launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases) just says handbrake - where am I meant to find out that it is handbrake-gtk?

  • Did you install the package using apt-get update && apt-get install handbrake?

  • From that page you'd click on the View package detailslink, then expand the dropdowns to see the individual package names

This:

Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-releases/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_GB

is an attempt to find localization packages from the PPA for your locale. There is no en_GB localization available in this PPA so it's ignored.

The PPA itself should not be ignored and be listed some where else in apt-get update output.
