[Bug 1312673] Re: software-properties-gtk crashed with aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException in get_sources(): Error: could not find a distribution template for Ubuntu/utopic

[John Russell]

Just upgraded to Yakkety amd64, changed 3rd party sources to Yakkety, updated software and software-properties-gtk returns the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 101, in <module>
    app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options, file=file)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 101, in __init__
    SoftwareProperties.__init__(self, options=options, datadir=datadir)

    (self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Ubuntu/zesty

There is no Zesty in my sources but /etc/lsb-release is: 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=17.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=zesty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Zesty Zapus (development branch)"

So I edited it:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=yakkety
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.10"

And Software & Updates is working again.
