I seem to have a similar problem. Tried replacing the sources.list as above but i still get:

user@desktop:~$ gksu /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 104, in <module>
    app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=data_dir, options=options, file=file)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 75, in __init__
    SoftwareProperties.__init__(self, options=options, datadir=datadir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 83, in __init__
    self.reload_sourceslist()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 521, in reload_sourceslist
    self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)  
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 90, in get_sources
    raise NoDistroTemplateException("Error: could not find a "
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template

Any suggestions?

Unless your a developer or need the source code I hash out the src entries to save extra downloads etc. It also speeds up the update-ing of the package lists.
