It appears that this command did the trick (took it from here: https:/ /askubuntu. com/questions/ 1171211/ ubuntu- 18-04-software- properties- gtk-failing- with-org- freedesktop- dbus-error- ser).
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-six python3-certifi
Would be nice to have a professional explanation of what was "messed up". Thanks!
