Linux LXDE updates

hi, 

I'm still a newbie with Linux and the DE1-Soc. I'm running the "normal" version of Linux/LXDE: Linaro 13.04, quantal, Linux 3.12 

The first problem is one I already solved: had to update /etc/apt/sources.list from 

ports.ubunto.com/ubuntu-ports/ quantal main universe 

to 

old-releases.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu/ quantal main universe 

 

Running the normal "apt-get update" fixed the immediate issue. Now I am attempting to load several PPAs, but am somewhat stumped by the "missing" add-apt-repository command by:# apt-get install add-apt-repository 

I get the error of "Unable to locate package add-apt-repository 

 

Since the only way I know how to add a PPA is add-apt-repository, I am somewhat stuck. I see Linaro Maintainers overlay ppa at: ppa:linaro-maintainers/overlay but cannot figure out how to install it. 

 

Many thanks! 

Steve
