I tried to reinstall software-properties-gtk but it didn't work
I also tried to reinstall python-six packages as recommended by other blogs but also didn't solve my issue.

Try the following


sudo apt reinstall python3-six python3-certifi

I had months suffering from this issue on both 18.04 and 20.04. I came by this answer on one of the forums and it worked.
