This is caused by some UTF-8 data somehow getting into the menu data.
Default encoding is "ascii" in python, and when python tries to
manipulate the UTF-8 menu string, it crashes. The program that is
failing is /usr/sbin/update-app-install, in
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/xdg/Menu.py. If I add at the top of this
file:
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF-8')
Then the update-app-install program seems to work. When I run gnome-
app-install, everything works until I hit the "Apply" button, where it
crashes with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
