how far are the backports to Lucid 10.04 LTS of the patches to this bug. Oleg Tsarev has requested them on November 3rd 2010 and 6 Month later (June 2011) the same bug (at least in case of http 404 address not found ) still exists in Lucid 10.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS server with KDE based user interface. When to expect the backports is there any estimated release date?

$ sudo apt-get upgrade ... The following packages will be upgraded: libpackagekit-glib2-12 libpackagekit-qt-12 packagekit packagekit-backend-apt python-packagekit ... I can confirm the bug is fixed in your packages. I added an invalid source and made sure the bug was still there before the upgrade, and it was. After the upgrade I no longer get any kind of error/warning after refreshing package cache from KPackageKit. Maybe warnings/errors encountered during update should be shown as such, so the user knows something went wrong (missing repository, missing keys etc).

[Bug 546607] Re: KPackageKit gives error after recent upgrade
I'm not very sure, but I think the update process is not really affected by the bug. The package index might be refreshed before the bug is triggered, so in this case you could update the packages (maybe restart KPackageKit and see if the updates are there). If this doesn't work, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get update This will update the package index manually and after that you should be able to install the updates from KPackageKit, or via command line: sudo apt-get upgrade Also, you might wanna look at the output of command `sudo apt-get update' and see which sources give errors (for example 404 errors), and disable those sources in KPackageKit - Settings - Edit Software Sources. Disabling the source that was giving errors will make KPackageKit work again, even without the bug fix. -- KPackageKit gives error after recent upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 546607] Re: KPackageKit gives error after recent upgrade
The bug is in /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 1498. In case of an error, format_string is used to display a message but error.message is not a string but an exceptions.SystemError object. Attached patch should fix this (packagekit-backend-apt.patch). There is also a related bug in /usr/share/pyshared/packagekit/backend.py, in function format_string. When called with a non-unicode parameter, it should convert it to unicode but doesn't because of a typo.
