Aihe: [DNG] distribution template for python-apt
Devuan is missing the distribution template files Devuan.info and
Devuan.mirrors in 
    /usr/share/python-apt/templates/


This kills the cinnamon software manager with:

~$ software-properties-gtk 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 100, in <module>
    app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options, 
file=file)

The Bug was already reported to Devuan as #33 [1] concerning "add-apt-
repository" but was never solved.


To generate the "Devuan.mirrors" file I quickly hacked a bash script, which is
attached, but I don't know how to build the second file needed "Devuan.info".
Has anyone built this file already or does know how to build it?

It would be nice if we could solve this bug an have a working python-apt
installation in Devuan.

Regards, Adrian.
