I can confirm this error on Linux Lite 3.0 (Ubuntu 16.04 base):

jerry@jerry-vb-32:~$ software-properties-gtk

It's just Gtk complaining but it should continue running regardless. This will remove the warning.Look in the attach.
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py

Not sure how to send a patch, I'm used to git
This is all new to me :)

What I did was to add next lines in "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py"

from gi import require_version
require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
require_version('Gdk', '3.0')

before the next line

from gi.repository import GObject, Gdk, Gtk, Gio, GLib

Thanks for the fix @Miloš Pavlović!
