Ubuntu 16.04 -ImportError: No module named 'UbuntuDrivers'

Question

I was having some problems opening software-properties and it was closing; couldn't even open. I tried to open it on the terminal and I'm getting this error:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py:40: PyGIWarning: Gdk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gdk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.  from gi.repository import GObject, Gdk, Gtk, Gio, GLib

  from gi.repository import GObject, Gdk, Gtk, Gio, GLib
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from softwareproperties.gtk.SoftwarePropertiesGtk import SoftwarePropertiesGtk
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 54, in <module>
    from UbuntuDrivers import detect
ImportError: No module named 'UbuntuDrivers'

What can I do to fix this? Or what did I mess with that I shouldn't have done?

It seems you have mistakenly deleted Python library packages for core Ubuntu Drivers. Try reinstalling ubuntu-drivers-common package.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-drivers-common
