Error: aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Deepin/apricot

I'm experiencing an error while using gnome-tweaks on my Deepin/apricot system. I have downloaded the whitsur cursor theme from GitHub and placed the files in the required location. Additionally, I have installed gnome-tweaks. However, when I select the whitesur theme from the dropdown, no effect is taking place. This issue persists for any other gnome-tweaks setting as well.

Initially, I couldn't open gnome-tweaks without using sudo as it failed to load with the following error:

(gnome-tweaks:695984): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:46:47.839: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:3611:22: 'none' is not a valid color name
Fontconfig error: "/home/zendrix396/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/01-emoji.conf", line 1: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
(gnome-tweaks:695984): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:46:47.936: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

​

Now, when I run sudo gnome-tweaks, it shows the following output before opening:

(gnome-tweaks:696327): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:47:54.427: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:3611:22: 'none' is not a valid color name

During my research, I found a suggestion to fix the gnome-tweaks error by running the command sudo apt-add-repository universe. However, when I tried this command, I encountered the following error:

$ sudo apt-add-repository universe

The main error here is aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Deepin/apricot. If anyone has a solution or can provide assistance on how to fix this issue, please let me know.
