add-apt-repository fails to identify Devuan, throws and fails
I'm using Devuan 2.0.
Thesoftware-properties-commonpackage has anadd-apt-repositoryscript in/usr/bin. Among other things, it determines what Linux distribution you're using and prepares some sort of a template forsources.listentries. At the moment, if you run it, it fails thusly:
# add-apt-repository whatever
Traceback (most recent call last):
... etc etc...
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Devuan/asciiThe reason is that it doesn't have patterns to match Devuan distribution names, nor defaults it could use in that case. Slight case of oversight I suppose
