[Bug 1365759] Re: /usr/bin/add-apt-repository:OSError:/usr/bin/add-apt-repository at 163:add_source_from_shortcut:set_modified_sourceslist:save_sourceslist:backup:copy:copyfile

[Brian Murray]

Ubuntu devices are setup with a read-only root file system so this is a
supported use case and software-properties should not crash in this
situation.  I seem to recall it being fixed but couldn't find anything
in the software-properties changelog supporting that.
