Public bug reported:
software-properties is an old gtk application essentially focused on
deb/apt world. Many of its features are dangerous or too complex for
normal users (removing main, enabling proposed, source without
specifying what, …)
With the Pro tab moved to the security center, it should be removed from
the Desktop image in 26.04 so we do not maintain it for the life
duration of the release and only software-properties-common should be
kept.
** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
