Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-app-install
The program /usr/sbin/update-app-install is called during the
installation of gnome-app-install. It crashes, due to UTF-8 data it was
not expecting. The message is:
Setting up gnome-app-install (0.5.60.1ubuntu2) ...
Caching application data...
Traceback (most recent call last):

if self.Name == str(other):
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-8:
ordinal not in range(128)
I am able to get update-app-install working by adding the following hack
to /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/xdg/Menu.py:
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF-8')
This allows the installation of gnome-app-install to succeed. However,
there is another bug in gnome-app-install in Lucid. When I select a
package to install, and then hit "Apply Changes", the program hangs.
The error reported is:
... lots of warnings like the next line ...
WARNING: can not get name for '<__main__.GailScrolledWindow object at 0x9ea511c
(GailScrolledWindow at 0x8c8b920)>'
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: commit_packages() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exit_handler'
I've traced this into /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/aptdaemon/client.py. It seems that there is some sort of dbus
error, but I get confused pretty quick in this code.
