The bug is in /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 1498. In case of an error, format_string is used to display a message but error.message is not a string but an exceptions.SystemError object.
Attached patch should fix this (packagekit-backend-apt.patch). There is also a related bug in /usr/share/pyshared/packagekit/backend.py, in function format_string. When called with a non-unicode parameter, it should convert it to unicode but doesn't because of a typo. I'll attach another patch for this (python-packagekit.patch). -- KPackageKit gives error after recent upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
