[Bug 1814072] [NEW] software-properties-gtk does not recognize https mirrors under Ubuntu Software

[Alex N.]

Public bug reported:

How to reproduce:

1. Change main Ubuntu mirrors to https in /etc/apt/sources.list and do "apt update"
2. Run software-properties-gtk
3. Go to "Ubuntu Software" tab

What happens:

The tab "Ubuntu Software" does not list https mirrors. The corresponding
boxes are not checked, the correct "Download from" entry is not selected
and falls back to "Main server". The correct sources are just listed
under "Other Software".

What should happen:

The tab "Ubuntu Software" should recognize the https mirrors from apt
and tick the corresponding boxes and select the correct server in the
"Download from" list.
