[Test Case] 1. Download a PGP key for a Debian repository (for example, the VideoLAN team's key: download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc) 2. Move the key file to a folder that contains special characters, or rename the file to contain them (example: VídeoLAN.asc). 3. Open "Software & Updates" from the Dash, then select the Authentication tab. 4. Press the "Import Key File..." button and then choose the key file. Admin authentication should then be requested, so authenticate yourself. If the bug is fixed: the key should now appear in the list of keys. If not: the key was not added. [Regression Potential] If the fix is not correct, I suppose it could potentially break the "import key" feature even more, so it wouldn't work even in "normal" paths. [Original Report] 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.
