Problem installing certbot on ubuntu 16.04

hi. trying to follow the installation instructions of “Unspecified Webserver on Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial)”, i hit a problem on sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot.

gpg:               imported: 1
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'S.gpg-agent.extra'

googling around, i ran into a suggestion. doing that (for the above key id) seems to have solved my problem.

(i hope the formatting is okay here.)
