add-apt-repository was not available on my system (ubuntu precise).

It was provided by installing python-software-properties:

$ aptitude install python-software-properties

We have not seen this sort of problem yet. How did you install precise (desktop/server, live/alternate)? Are you running on x86_64?

Could you try downloading the deb directly from Launchpad ( https://launchpad.net/~rethinkdb/+archive/ppa/+files/rethinkdb_1.2.2-14-g84454d-1-0ubuntu1~precise_amd64.deb )?

I suspect this is a 32 bit problem. Unfortunately rethink only runs on 64-bit systems, I'll clarify this in the docs.

Also need to clarify that rethink is only available on 64 bit systems for now. Will do soon.

Since ubuntu 12.10, the add-apt-repository has been moved to a different package called "software-properties-common". See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1021418

hey guys just wanted to mention that on debian i had to do:

wget http://blog.anantshri.info/content/uploads/2010/09/add-apt-repository.sh.txt
sudo cp add-apt-repository.sh.txt /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository
sudo chmod o+x /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository
sudo chown root:root /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository

as pointed out here: http://blog.anantshri.info/howto-add-ppa-in-debian/
