By extension, this bug affects GNOME Software as it tries to run software-properties-gtk.

Similarly:

I see similar behavior;

The workaround is to comment out the call to UbuntuDrivers python module in usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py
Line 61 to 65 starting with

try:

I can use add-apt-repository without issue, but I get other problems with the repo;

I got it to work by pulling down the ci-repo.key, and adding this line to sources.list; deb https://ci.puri.sm/ scratch librem5

On top of that we maybe could drop the dependency of gnome-software on software-properties-gtk, that would let GNOME Software use its own repo configuration dialog.

Is this perhaps a duplicate (and revisit) of T148 and/or T711? - symptoms seem similar.

Assigning to you, @jeremiah.foster as you seem to be involved already and know at least some bits of it...
