Bug#691998: TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported
Control: severity -1 serious Control: tags -1 patch This bug leaves the gdebi-kde executable completely broken -- it can't even generate help output let alone install packages. In gdebi-kde, _ is set to the ugettext function rather than gettext ( (as opposed to gdebi-gtk where it is gettext). The result of help=unicode(_(Run non-interactive (dangerous!)),UTF-8)) is that unicode is trying to decode a unicode object as UTF-8 rather than a string. Python can't do that, so you get the reported error. The attached patch removes what I believe to be the unicode(…, UTF-8) call. cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescotthttp://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprintBE65 FD1E F4EA 08F3 23D4 3C6D 9FE8 B8CD 71C5 D1A8 GPG fingerprint90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7 diff -Nru gdebi-0.8.6/debian/changelog gdebi-0.8.6+nmu1/debian/changelog --- gdebi-0.8.6/debian/changelog 2012-10-11 21:07:45.0 +0100 +++ gdebi-0.8.6+nmu1/debian/changelog 2012-11-01 09:57:59.0 + @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +gdebi (0.8.6+nmu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low + + * Non-maintainer upload. + * Don't try to decode a unicode string as UTF-8 in gdeb-kde (Closes: #691998) + + -- Stuart Prescott stu...@debian.org Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:47:13 + + gdebi (0.8.6) unstable; urgency=low * gdebi, GDebi/GDebiCli.py: diff -Nru gdebi-0.8.6/gdebi-kde gdebi-0.8.6+nmu1/gdebi-kde --- gdebi-0.8.6/gdebi-kde 2012-10-11 20:56:58.0 +0100 +++ gdebi-0.8.6+nmu1/gdebi-kde 2012-11-01 09:57:59.0 + @@ -64,7 +64,7 @@ parser.add_option(-n, --non-interactive, action=store_true, dest=non_interactive, default=False, - help=unicode(_(Run non-interactive (dangerous!)),UTF-8)) + help=_(Run non-interactive (dangerous!)))
