Subject: [devuan-dev] bug#662: software-properties-gtk: does not start due to lack of devuan distro template
Package: software-properties-gtk
Version: 0.96.20.2-2.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: TrueTechie@???

Dear Maintainer,

When launching software-properties-gtk, the program produces an error
saying that it does not have a proper template for Devuan Chimera. It
seems that it just needs one to be implemented and/or patched in, but I
am not sure about this.

Full Python Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
