Software Updater/Software & Updates issues

[ghost]

in addition to #39

there are also errors when trying to access or view software repositories settings in either app manager or from the Ubuntu Updater. From the /usr/bin/update-manager command line it says

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 100, in
app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options, file=file)

raise NoDistroTemplateException(
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Ubuntu/hirsute

gks gedit /etc/lsb-release - don't know what to put in this file since I just have the names devel and hirsuite to try and fix it

the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade command seems to work but show the errors listed in the previously linked issue, i was able to fix some of those errors however (I think with "sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update")

I've seen the sudo rm -rvf /var/lib/apt/lists/* command as a solution but unsure about trying it with this

what do you guys think?
