Bug Description

The newest update of the application software-properties (0.81.2) does not work.
The application does not launch.
I have tried it with 3 different ways:
- from Synaptic
- from menu (system settigns - software sources)
- from terminal (software-properties-gtk)
None of them work.

Downgrading to the previous version (0.80.13) solves the issue for now.

I have fully upgraded/updated Oneiric 64-bit:
- nvidia-current
- gnome-shell

OK I have solved the issue.
The latest version of software-properties needs update-notifier to be installed.
If I install it, software-properties 0.81.2 works OK.
If I uninstall it, only previous version 0.80.13 or earlier works OK.

The question is, is this intentional?
