Bug Description

My system: Lubuntu 19.04 run from Live-CD (from the original ISO image)

Note: Followig issue apply to both software-properties: Qt and KDE run from LiveCD.

After opening thru the console (as root) the software-properties, switching to the "Authentication" tab and pressing the "Import key file", I recieve following error output:

# software-properties-qt

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
Trackback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/qt/SoftwarePropertiesQt.py", line 712, in add_key_clicked
    url = KUrl.fromPath(home)
NameError: name 'KUrl' is not defined

=================================================

same happens with software-properties-kde.

When I'm trying to check their version, I'll get following output:

# software-properties-qt -v

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'

software-properties-qt
