[Linux] Ubuntu 9.10 karmic: no add-apt-repository
#1
Hi All

I've installed 9.10 minimal, then try to install xbmc following this insructions.
But, in the 1st command, I receive the following:

Code:
xbmc@MARK1:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

How can I fix the add-apt-repository absence? Any package to install?

Thanks in advance.
