Public bug reported: Following the recent update to fix LP: #1069019 a regression was introduced when trying to save an empty SourcesList.
>>> from aptsources.sourceslist import SourcesList >>> s = SourcesList(withMatcher=False) >>> s.save() /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptsources/sourceslist.pyc in save(self) 409 410 with io.open(path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f: --> 411 f.write(header) 412 return 413 TypeError: must be unicode, not str This is because the header that's added when there are no APT entries is a regular Python 2 string object, and not a unicode object.
