Alacritty: Issue while trying to add new ppa

[renannprado]

Which operating system does the issue occur on?

Debian 10

While trying to add the new ppa to download alacritty, I got the following error:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mmstick76/alacritty

You're running Debian, which does not provide the necessary keys to install packaged signed for Ubuntu. You'll either have to add the key from Ubuntu's keyserver, or build from source.

This is not an Alacritty issue though, but solely lies within your system and trying to install Ubuntu PPAs on Debian. If you need some help, I'll try to answer as best I can (I don't personally use Ubuntu), but alternative channels might be able to help you quicker (like some of the linux IRC channels).

Ah, I see. Understood!

I'll figure it out :)
