Bug Description

The following error has no bug link:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Fsoftware-properties-gtk%3AKeyError%3A%3Cmodule%3E%3A__init__%3Ashow_drivers

However, it is certainly bug 1028388. The difference in the traceback is in the line numbers of the source code the crash happens in. For example:

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 179, in __init__
    self.show_drivers()

v.s.

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 180, in __init__
    self.show_drivers()

Perhaps the matching could be a bit less strict.
