The software-properties-common is buggy, so if have a time, please report this as a bug in software-properties-common.



A better workaround was pointed out in the issue tracker that uses specific unicode locale when adding the repository



LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
