So, I was wondering.. why wouldn't 'software-properties-common' be installed by default. Just wondering.
Re-branding Debian into Sparky made conflicts with the package.

So, to add a repository (I'm trying to add TLP for example) I need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list manually?
Is there a way I can do this in the terminal? Perhaps a Sparky way? ;)
https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList
sudo nano sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list or sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list or sudo geany .
or you can nest it inside the directory sources.list.d via any of your favourite editors. There is lots of examples on the web.
p.s. don't make a FrankenDebian If it is a Ubuntu ppa ...
And about the terminal - tlp mentions that
"TLP is a pure command line tool with automated background tasks, it does not contain a GUI."
You can also use APTus-> Repository-> Manage custom repos.
Edit any existing list, for example sid.list, remove the contects, add yours repos and save the file with a new name.

I'm familiar with how to modify sources.list manually. Apparently, that is the only way to add a ppa to Sparky (besides using the APTus tool).
On the command line, one should be able to type 'sudo apt-add-repository ...' and all is well. But on Sparky, that is not the case. You have to either use a 'Sparky' tool or do it manually. To me, that is not easy. That just sounds like a workaround.
What about Synaptic-> Settings-> Repository ?
