Title:
  software-properties-gtk crashed with TypeError in
  set_release_upgrades_policy(): 'str' does not support the buffer
  interface

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Opened Software sources in Synaptic and changed notification of new ubuntu version from Long-term support versions to Any new version.
  After opening Software sources again it was still set to Long term version. Tried it using Ubuntu software center as well to be sure and get the exact same behavior.

  This is a fresh install and I did this after applying all available
  updates and restarted.
