3. Change permissions to execute

$ chmod o+x /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository

4. Change ownership to root

Can someone explain why we have to write on lsb-release file that kali distro is an ubuntu one. This does not seems proper at all. And quering with lsb-release -a seems also to give misleading info that would file bugs on the wrong site if that would be use by devs.
Those are bugs.
