[Bug 1840624] [NEW] Ubuntu 18.04: Can't remove software key via software-properties package GUI

[SunBear]

Public bug reported:

I have these packages installed:

ii  python3-software-properties                0.96.24.32.11                                all          manage the repositories that you install software from
ii  software-properties-common                 0.96.24.32.11                                all          manage the repositories that you install software from (common)
ii  software-properties-gtk                    0.96.24.32.11                                all          manage the repositories that you install software from (gtk)

However, after calling out `Software & Updates` GUI and clicking the
`Authenication` tab, I found the `Remove` button there does not work. It
does not delete any trusted software keys. I had to resort to using cli
cmds as given in https://askubuntu.com/questions/107177/how-can-i
-remove-gpg-key-that-i-added-using-apt-key-add/846877#846877 to remove
any trusted software keys.

The 'Remove' button needs to work; it needs to be fixed.
