Getting error "source.error('nothing to repeat', re.error: nothing to repeat at position 2" in a script that came with the distro

Question

Firstly, I didn't write the script that's having this issue. This is something I have no idea how to approach as I neither understand the source code nor do I have enough experience with Python to solve this problem on my own. The situation is essentially I'm trying to add a ppa to my list of repositories on ParrotOS. However, after I run this command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/apache2

I'm greeted with the following error message:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise source.error("nothing to repeat",
re.error: nothing to repeat at position 2

I'm honestly at a loss of what to do as this is completely out of my knowledge, and I can't seem to find any other answers that aren't asking this question about code that the author wrote themselves, and they were scripts that are thousands of lines long. I'm not sure what else I can give, but I'll deliver anything to help fix this.
