*** Please type your report below this line ***
When trying to run 'software-properties-kde' and also 'kdesudo
software-properties-kde' the app crashes immediately upon startup with this
backtrace:
"
Traceback (most recent call last):

I was told that I need this app to run the application 'update-notifier', which
seems to be GNOME but I was told would run on KDE as well. Running KDE 4.3.4
on Sid.
