Bug Description

Clean install with quantal 12.10 x64. Many bugs like with gnome and system settings. Don't know why, I did everything properly. It didn't turn this way with previous version of Ubuntu even if it's the first time I use a DVD (quantal) version.

This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.87

---------------
software-properties (0.87) quantal; urgency=low

  * Restore apt-add-repository symlink.
  * Handle removal of cmp builtin from Python 3 (LP: #1022665).
  * Open NamedTemporaryFile in text mode when writing text to it
    (LP: #1021639).
  * Fix display glitch in add-apt-repository that caused "None" to be
    printed for any PPA without a description.
