Bug Description

Tried to select a mirror server on my Ubuntu MATE 16.04, ppc install (PowerBook 5,8), which did not work. The list is empty. If I click on "Bester Server auswählen" I get an error box "Es wurde kein passender Spiegelserver gefunden. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Internet-Verbindung."

There are no mirror servers for ppc, so there are no choices. I've now modified software-properties-gtk not to display the "Other..." option which then launches the mirror choice dialog so you should no longer encounter this bug.
