Hello portaro .

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 60, in <module>
sp = SoftwareProperties()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 90, in __init__
self.reload_sourceslist()

aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template

Those errors can come when:
1 - the repo's are down/update/Upgrade.
2 - you will need to look into the " lines " with the errors and Delete the repo's from your source.list.
Then Reload synaptic and see if that solve the issue for you.

the lines that need to be Deleted ( if it is not Repo's issue) then it's Line - 90,Line 538,Line 91.
good luck to you.

I thinking the repos are unaccess

because in the /bin/add-apt-repositoiry - im not have line 90 for example my archive have 71 lines.

I try to access the repo - http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ natty partner - and he is down.

My problem is - this problem continues every time?

Hello portaro.

Like I said if there are Updates/Upgrades on the Servers that can happens.
Did you have try to use the fix broken packages?
If you did and apply - and did it fix the issue?
If not give it few days and post back if this issue was fix or not for you.

EDIT- last thing for you to do is to Delete the save source.list = etc/apt/save source.list.

1

and look in the folder of save repo's (save source.list " folder")and delete the source that make the issue.

2

when you done open terminal and copy past the commands:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade

Then reboot and see if that issue fix for you.
