Additional Drivers /Software & Update not working

Hello,

I am running :-
Description: Ubuntu 19.10
Release: 19.10

software-properties-gtk:
Installed: 0.98.5
Candidate: 0.98.5
Version table:
*** 0.98.5 500
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main amd64 Packages
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I am trying to run Additional Drivers /Software & Update . But it opened once and froze and never opened again.
When I try running the command:-
$ sudo software-properties-gtk

Did a remove and reinstall of the same, but did not work.

It returns:-

Ran the command :
sudo apt install --reinstall python3-six

It works fine after that.

Thank you

After I reinstalled this package, software-properties-gtk worked again.

I found the same message with journalctl, I try reinstall six and certify, it did not works.
Then try to run code from requests_unixsocket docs with python3 interactive console.

   import requests_unixsocket

   requests_unixsocket.monkeypatch()

   r = requests.get('http+unix://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/info')
   assert r.status_code == 200

it can't import requests.

Works again with software properties and livepatch tab after reinstall requests for me.
