I'm a complete Linux newbie. I've just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 LTS and all sorts of things have started to go wrong. One main problem is the fact that I can't add repos.

Example:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc

outputs:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 8, in <module>
    from softwareproperties.SoftwareProperties import SoftwareProperties   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 53, in <module>
    from ppa import AddPPASigningKeyThread, expand_ppa_line   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 27, in <module>
    import pycurl ImportError: librtmp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/etc/apt/sources.list

I have no clue what do do next. Should I just scrap this installation and start from scratch or is this fixable? librtmp.so.0 also shows up in error logs I've started to get from XBMC (I'm not sure if this is relevant info).

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
