The problem manifests itself in Python 2, not Python 3:
In Python3 we get:
vagrant@quantal64:/vagrant$ python3
Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:16)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import softwareproperties.ppa
>>>
In Python 2 we get:
vagrant@quantal64:/vagrant$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import softwareproperties.ppa
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 39,
in <module>
import pycurl
ImportError: No module named pycurl
>>>
After installing python-pycurl, the system works again:
vagrant@quantal64:/vagrant$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import softwareproperties.ppa
>>>
So yes, python-software-properties is missing a python-pycurl dependency
except, perhaps, on ubuntu releases that make python3 the default
python, in which case it's missing a python-pycurl "Recommends".
** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
