I see dep8 failures in software-properties 0.96.20.6. But a recent test against 0.96.20.5 succeeded, which suggests to me that it is a regression caused by 0.96.20.6. I don't see anything obvious in the diff that could cause this, but I think it warrants further investigation. Please could you take a look?
