I'm using Ubuntu 12.10. Yesterday I noticed that software-properties-gtk does not work anymore. I have no idea why and what to do. When I start via Terminal I get the following output:
chocobai@pfubuntu:~$ software-properties-gtk
gpg: /tmp/tmpgkhlnl/trustdb.gpg: trust-db erzeugt
Traceback (most recent call last):

cache_map = packages_for_modalias.cache_maps[apt_cache_hash]
KeyError: 4726621
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

What I want to do is to completely reinstall the proprietary ATI graphic drivers, because the game DungeonDefenders does not start. Also software-properties-gtk is useful to manage repositories.
I thought about to apt-get purge software-properties-gtk but I'm not sure whether this is safe or I'd break something.
