As Julian already mentioned, the u prefix of a string denotes a unicode string. This did not cause the bug and conversion of this unicode string to a non-unicode string is not needed. The actual bug lies in the line "command = ['sudo', '-u#' + pi.owner_ui, command]" The pi.owner_ui attribute does not exist, this seems to stem from a typo (oops). The correct name of the attribute is "owner_uid", so using "pi.owner_uid" instead should fix the problem. I just committed revision 1570 in the update-manager bzr tree at alioth.d.o, which incorporates that fix. I will do a release of update-manager in the next few days which will contain the fix mentioned above (and all other fixes currently included in debian/patches/). Anyways, thanks for working on this Dominique. Regards, Stephan PS: Sorry for not having taken care of this earlier, but I'm a bit busy with other things right now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
