  software-properties-gtk crashed with TypeError in
  on_driver_selection_changed(): Expected a string or a pair of strings

Bug description:
  - Impact

  software-properties-gtk hit an exception when dealing some drivers

  - Test Case

  On a Dell XPS 13 9320 enable ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6 and
  try to install libcamhal-ipu6ep0 using software-properties-gtk

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/d3c26abd1d80970615ad06cff24972cee3001e57
  should not include reports on the new version

  - Regression potential

  The change make the driver code ignore one extra type of error, it
  shouldn't impact on any of the already working cases. Ensure that
  drivers that were hitting the error correctly install now

  [racb] It's possible that we accidentally catch and hide a real error
  due to an unrelated TypeError exception being raised inside the try
  block.

  --------------------

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  Ubuntu 22.04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
   software-properties-gtk 0.99.22

  3) What you expected to happen
  No crash when using Additional Drivers with ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6 on Dell XPS 13 9320
  It can install libcamhal-ipu6ep0 from Additional Drivers without any problem.

  4) What happened instead
  It crashed when selecting libcamhal-ipu6ep0 in Additional Drivers
