I am working with pcudino3 with ubuntu 14.04 image installed on it.

I was able to get add-apt-repository working by "sudo apt-get install software-properties-common "

However, every time I try to use it no matter which ppa, I get following error (e.g. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa ):

-----------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 91, in <module>
sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 109, in __init__
self.reload_sourceslist()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 599, in reload_sourceslist
self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)

(self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Linaro/trusty
---------------

Any idea on how to resolve this
