[Bug 1965094] Re: "Additional Drivers" application crashes on startup

[Brian Murray]

The traceback is really in UbuntuDrivers/detect.py which is part of
ubuntu-drivers-common. Looking at the code it hasn't changed with the
latest version of ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.9.6.1) so this still needs
fixing.

** Information type changed from Private to Public

** Tags added: rls-jj-incoming

** Package changed: software-properties (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-drivers-
common (Ubuntu)
