It sounds like you are accessing internet through a proxy server. You will find some pointers here:

Good morning

While trying to install OPM on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I got this output, and no package added.
I did the update and install software-properties-common.
What's the problem ??

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:opm/ppa
