Same problem. When clicking on Settings > Configure Software Sources: > Could not find <command>software-properties-kde</command> on your system, please install it. Alternatively, you can use <application>Plasma Discover</application> to configure software sources. Running "sudo apt install -y software-properties-kde" >Reading package lists... Done >Building dependency tree >Reading state information... Done >Package software-properties-kde is not available, but is referred to by another package. >This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or >is only available from another source >However the following packages replace it: > software-properties-qt muon software-properties-kde has indeed been replaced by software-properties-qt. It has been fixed in Muon after 5.8.0, but a new version is not released yet. https://invent.kde.org/system/muon/-/commit/8e18f65b8b7a285ff6edaa5391126afb2c09773b As a workaround you can start software-properties directly from the applications menu or by running kdesudo software-properties-qt I am closing this based on the comment below. Sorry, misread the below. I will look into what needs to be done. Using Muon Package Manager Version 5.8.0 in KDE Neon. Still broken. Adding software-properties-kde is not available in repos. Adding software-properties-qt installs, but does not solve the problem. Additionally, adding qapt-batch, which was suggested in an older thread also did bot help. It's still there, and my workaround for this problem has been this: cd /usr/bin sudo ln -s "software-properties-qt" "software-properties-kde" Ideally, Muon should be looking for "software-properties-qt" instead of (or in addion to) "software-properties-kde". Operating System: KDE neon 5.21 KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 OS Type: 64-bit works for me on neon unstable. *** Bug 435111 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm that opening the software sources through Discover works, as does opening "software-properties-qt" through the terminal. But the original issue persists: Without workarounds it's not possible to edit the list of software sources through Muon. Muon: 5.8.0 Operating System: KDE neon 5.24 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 hi, i have the exact same issues with kubuntu 22.04 and also happen when trying to oppen software sources on discover (which is not translated into French, which is strange because I remember that it was the case). couldn't install wine properly because of this :( Addind ppa and trusting key via termina is not working even if I am validated as sudo have a good day (In reply to kevinmathieu2020 from comment #10) You may like to try my workaround in comment 6: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425073#c6 PS: In the end, I've decided to replace Muon with Synaptic as my package manager because of things like this. Hi. Having the same issue after installing a recent update from 20.04 to 22.04LTS
The advise on linking the `software-properties-kde` to `software-properties-qt` didn't help. I'm already having it:
$ ll `which software-properties-kde`
$ /usr/bin/software-properties-kde -> software-properties-qt
In addition to the said above, I'm also experiencing the same issue in Discover application when trying to access `software-properties-qt`. Seems like the issue can be narrowed down to `software-properties-qt` itself. The fix from [comment 6](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425073#c6) seems to work, and I used the following single command to action it: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/software-properties-qt /usr/bin/software-properties-kde Verification: $ ll /usr/bin/software-properties-* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jan 19 09:49 /usr/bin/software-properties-kde -> /usr/bin/software-properties-qt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6117 Nov 9 14:29 /usr/bin/software-properties-qt* (Note the full path used in the soft link) Is this soft link going to cause any issues when the problem is addressed? Seems to me because it is trying to use `software-properties-kde` when the correct package (in Neon at least) is `software-properties-qt` Maybe that would fix this?

Sorry, I see this was discussed already, just somehow didn't see the comments at first |
Created attachment 130678 [details] dialog window error SUMMARY "Configure software sources" from muon package manager does not work, but it works through Discover package manager. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Muon and software-properties-qt or common already installed in a 18.04 based 2. Upgrade to 20.04, run muon (alt+F2 and type muon) 3. configure software sources OBSERVED RESULT It appears a dialog that says "software-properties-kde" not present. However, it doesn't exist in repositories. Installing from konsole and apt says that package software-properties-kde is (now) obsolete and the replacement is "software-properties-qt". But installing this new package doesn't fix the problem and it persists. EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
