Public bug reported:

software-properties-gtk doesn't start. When I start it manually from a
terminal (with sudo) it gives me this:

$sudo software-properties-gtk
gpg: /tmp/tmpikq74o/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UbuntuDrivers/detect.py", line 162, in packages_for_modalias
    cache_map = packages_for_modalias.cache_maps[apt_cache_hash]
KeyError: -1063478128

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
