Hi! I'd like to install Mate-desktop. I tried to add the repository. In terminal I typed sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu precise main" command and get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 185, in
    sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 97, in __init__
    self.reload_sourceslist()

    self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)

    raise NoDistroTemplateException("Error: could not find a "
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template

How can I solve this problem?
