Bug Description

[Impact]
software-properties-gtk is crashing regularly for users of Ubuntu stable releases.

[Test Case]
We aren't sure what exactly is causing the crash but we don't need to be given that there is a bucket in the Error Tracker with a large number of crashes. The fix for this bug can be verified by looking at the bucket in the description and confirming that the crash does not occur with the new version of the package.

[Regression Potential]We are just adding in a except check for an AttributeError so there is little chance of a regression, just make sure the change isn't typo'ed.

[Original Description]
The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding software-properties. This problem was most recently seen with package version 1.92.36bodhi1, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/b13c9466e8741d31ba6c9934365589f383a60650 contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports.
If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/.

The new package version numbers do not appear in the bucket at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/b13c9466e8741d31ba6c9934365589f383a60650, additionally there are no other crashes re software-properties which are the result of an AttributeError in on_driver_selection changed so there isn't a new crash (because the line numbers changed) about this issue so I'm setting this to v-done.
