[Bug 1048733] Re: add-apt-repository fails due to softwareproperties error

[Walter Lapchynski]

i should probably call this "fix committed" rather than invalid since
something has changed since we've updated to 0.92.6 but no problems
anymore. my guess is that the changes affecting the synaptic bug had a
trickle down effect.

** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  add-apt-repository fails due to softwareproperties error

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

Bug description:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 10, in <module>
      from softwareproperties.SoftwareProperties import SoftwareProperties
  ImportError: No module named softwareproperties.SoftwareProperties

  I tried other PPAs and had the same error so it seems to be universal.

  Interestingly trying to add manually in Settings → Repository just
  results in a notice saying that repos have changed and you need to
  reload. It doesn't actually get to the point where you add repos. That
  may be a related issue so I will file a separate bug and link here and
  vice versa.
