Title:
  Cannot edit sources using synaptic

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

Bug description:
  I cannot edit the /etc/apt/sources.list using synaptic packet manager.

  When I select "" I get a dialog saying that the packet sources have
  been changes and I should click on "reload".

  Original German text:
  "Paketquellen wurden geändert

  Die Informationen der Software-Paketquellen haben sich geändert. Um
  die Änderungen zu übernehmen, klicken Sie bitte auf "Neu laden". "

  This happens every time. The terminal says:

  Traceback (most recent call last):

      app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options, file=file)
