Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: [Impact] - When someone adds a PPA with a description that contains non-ascii letters, he later on gets apport dialogs about aptd crashes: + When someone adds a PPA with a description that contains non-ascii letters, she later on gets apport dialogs about aptd crashes: Title: <type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 24: ordinal not in range(128) [Test Case] $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ts.sch.gr $ sudo apt-get update # Just ensure that there's at least one update coming from that PPA. # E.g. install the numlockx package from Precise, there's then an # update in that PPA: $ sudo apt-get install numlockx=1.2-2 $ sudo apt-get update $ update-manager No need to update anything, it's enough to select numlockx in the update manager so that the PPA description is pulled. Then wait approximately 30 seconds for apport to display the crash dialog. Or, ls /var/crash/*apt* [Regression Potential] There are lots of dbus.String() calls in aptdaemon that might trigger similar errors [which are likely a red herring --cjwatson], but this case should be OK now, both for python2 and python3.
