I`m unable to reproduce it anymore. Except in the case for the openvpn
source from this address: http://build.openvpn.net/debian/openvpn/stable
Managed to see the error when opening the software update from terminal
via `software-properties-gtk` -> in the attached file and below.
Apparently there is some issue with the openvpn repo and the error
handling in such cases is failing somehow:
```
$ software-properties-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
