Title:
"Import Key File" fails when the path of the file has special
characters
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The "Import Key File..." button in the "Authentication" tab fails
silently when the path of the selected key file includes special
characters.
I'm using Ubuntu in Portuguese, so the "/home/$USER/Downloads" folder is
named "/home/$USER/Transferências" here.
Adding a key from that folder fails, but adding a key from "/home/$USER" (no
special characters) succeeds.
The problem is that, in
softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py in method
SoftwarePropertiesGtk.add_key_clicked() at around line 952:
if res == Gtk.ResponseType.ACCEPT:
try:
if not self.backend.AddKey(chooser.get_filename()):
error(self.window_main,
_("Error importing selected file"),
_("The selected file may not be a GPG key file "
"or it might be corrupt."))
except dbus.DBusException as e:
if e._dbus_error_name ==
'com.ubuntu.SoftwareProperties.PermissionDeniedByPolicy':
logging.error("Authentication canceled, changes have not
been saved")
"self.backend.AddKey(chooser.get_filename())" throws a
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.UnicodeEncodeError" exception for paths with
special characters.
This is probably a side effect of switching from Python 2 to 3 (and 'bytes'
now being used in network communications where 'str' was previously used).
Another issue is that the error isn't reported to the user, and it
should be.
