Public bug reported:
Expected: software-properties-gtk should launch properly; instead it
crashes and doesn't launch.
Out of the blue, I couldn't open Software&Updates so I checked the
output of software-properties-gtk which is:
```
WARNING:root:system-image-cli failed, using defaults: [Errno 13] Permission
denied: 'system-ima

```
If I launch it with sudo I get circa the same output:
```
