If you press super key, enter "software & updates" and click on the "software & updates"  icon to open. software-properties-gtk , it does not open, nothing happens.
If you open "software center" and select "software sources" form the edit menu software-properties-gtk  does not open, nothing happens.
If you type software-properties-gtk in terminal you get this output:

  File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 101, in <module>
    app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options, file=file)
