Sujet: [devuan-dev] bug#549: software-properties-gtk crashes due to missing distribution template for Devuan [fix]
Package: python-apt-common
Version: 1.8.4.3

When launching software-properties-gtk via the command line, via "Xfce
Menu > Settings > Software & Updates" or via "synaptic > Settings >
Repositories", it crashes because it can't find a template for Devuan:


ERROR:root:Cannot import UbuntuDrivers: No module named 'UbuntuDrivers'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 101, in <module>
    app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir,

aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a
distribution template for Devuan/beowulf

Fix:

I created the files

/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Devuan.info:

ChangelogURI:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/%s/%s/%s/%s_%s/changelog

Suite: beowulf
RepositoryType: deb
BaseURI: http://deb.devuan.org/merged/
MatchURI: ((http|ftp)[0-9]*\.([a-z]*\.){0,1}|deb\.|httpredir\.)devuan\.org
MirrorsFile: Devuan.mirrors
Description: Devuan 3 'Beowulf'
Component: main
CompDescription: Officially supported

Suite: beowulf-security
RepositoryType: deb
ParentSuite: beowulf

and /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Devuan.mirrors:

#LOC:GB
http://gb.deb.devuan.org/merged/

..and it works ok now. Seems like these files need to be added to
python-apt. I couldn't find the proper ChangelogURI though, but
otherwise it works.

Using Devuan 3/Beowulf.
