[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Apologies for the months late reply and any formatting mistakes, I moved on from this and forgot about it. Either way, this doesn't seem to have been fixed in either chaemera, daedalus, or ceres (after testing in several VMs and on my laptop running Devuan). Launching the application via either the desktop or the command line (with or without polkit) still produces an error as seen by the output on my Daedalus VM:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 101, in <module>
    app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options, file=file)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 109, in __init__
    SoftwareProperties.__init__(self, options=options, datadir=datadir)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 109, in __init__
    self.reload_sourceslist()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 599, in reload_sourceslist
    self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)   
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 91, in get_sources
    raise NoDistroTemplateException(
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Devuan/daedalus ceres

If it helps/is related to this, running the command "distro-info --all" only seems to produce upstream Debian release names as output as seen here:

buzz
rex
bo
hamm
slink
potato
woody
sarge
etch
lenny
squeeze
wheezy
jessie
stretch
buster
bullseye
bookworm
