Bug Description

I have these packages installed:

ii python3-software-properties 0.96.24.32.11 all manage the repositories that you install software from
ii software-properties-common 0.96.24.32.11 all manage the repositories that you install software from (common)
ii software-properties-gtk 0.96.24.32.11 all manage the repositories that you install software from (gtk)

However, after calling out `Software & Updates` GUI and clicking the `Authenication` tab, I found the `Remove` button there does not work. It does not delete any trusted software keys. I had to resort to using cli cmds as given in https://askubuntu.com/questions/107177/how-can-i-remove-gpg-key-that-i-added-using-apt-key-add/846877#846877 to remove any trusted software keys.

The 'Remove' button needs to work; it needs to be fixed.
