This is happening on a Trusty live, got the ISO from: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso (today is 10/31/2013).

On a Trusty desktop this does not occur.

I zsync-ed today's image (11012013) and the issue does not occur anymore, software-properties opens correctly.
I am marking this bug invalid.

This was a bug with the new distribution not being added to python-apt yet, rather than looking for that bug (to make this a duplicate of) I'm just to mark this as Invalid.
