Hi!
I was trying to use sudo apt-add-repository non-free, but I get error raise NoDistroTemplateException(
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Sparky/bullseye

During research I found out that it's common error, but by the fixing it it's possible to harm the OS and could dependence on distribution. Thus, I decide to put the topic here. Do you know how to safely fix it to use 'non-free' for Sparky?
Thanks in advance!

Full terminal operations code:
sudo apt-add-repository non-free
Traceback (most recent call last):

You don't need to add non-free repos to sparky, already done as default.

But there is an issue as you found, not solved yet.
