** Description changed: Since a week, I'm getting an error on KPackageKit when I try to search for a package. I type the name in the search box, it looks like it's searching and then a pop-up called "There was an internal system error" displays with the following output: - Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist- - packages/packagekit/daemonBackend.py", line 109, in run - threading.Thread.run(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line - 477, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File - "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 594, in doSearchName - self._emit_visible_package(filters, pkg) File - "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 1816, in - _emit_visible_package self._emit_package(pkg, info) File - "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 1809, in _emit_package - self.Package(info, id, summary) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist- - packages/packagekit/daemonBackend.py", line 146, in wrapper return - func(*args, **kwargs) File "/var/lib/python- - support/python2.6/dbus/decorators.py", line 309, in emit_signal - message.append(signature=signature, *args) TypeError: Expected a string - or unicode object + Traceback (most recent call last): + File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/daemonBackend.py", line 109, in run + threading.Thread.run(self) + File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 477, in run + self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) + File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 594, in doSearchName + self._emit_visible_package(filters, pkg) + File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 1816, in _emit_visible_package + self._emit_package(pkg, info) + File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 1809, in _emit_package + self.Package(info, id, summary) + File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/daemonBackend.py", line 146, in wrapper + return func(*args, **kwargs) + File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/dbus/decorators.py", line 309, in emit_signal + message.append(signature=signature, *args) + TypeError: Expected a string or unicode object When closing the error, no or half search results are displayed. I already tried reinstalling KPackageKit, but that didn't work. OS: Kubuntu 9.04 KDE-version: 4.2.4 KPackageKit-version: 0.4-0ubuntu9 What to do about it, other than upgrading to 9.10 alpha?
