I was trying to install wine-stable and followed the steps given on the website. Here's what I did -

  1. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

  2. wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

  3. sudo apt-key add winehq.key

  4. sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'

After step 4 I get the following error - 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/apt-add-repository", line 11, in <module>
    from softwareproperties.SoftwareProperties import SoftwareProperties, shortcut_handler
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 63, in <module>
    from . import shortcuts
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/shortcuts.py", line 23, in <module>
    _DEF_CODENAME = aptsources.distro.get_distro().codename
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 576, in get_distro
    os_release = _OSRelease()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 529, in __init__
    self.inject_lsb_compat()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 532, in inject_lsb_compat
    self.result['Distributor ID'] = self.result['ID']
KeyError: 'ID'

I can't understand why i get this error and how to fix this. Thanks in advance.
