After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04.1 LTS I have the same
error, slightly different:
root@amd8:/home/helmut# software-properties-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 101, in <module>
app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options,
file=file)
File
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py",
line 169, in __init__
self.show_keys()

line 846, in show_keys
for key in self.apt_key.list():

for line in p:
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 313, in decode
(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 1440:
invalid start byte
I tried the methods described above with gedit and "cat /var/lib/dpkg/available
| iconv -c -f utf-8 -t utf-8 > /tmp/available.fixed
root@amd8:/var/lib/dpkg# cat /var/lib/dpkg/available | iconv -c -f utf-8 -t
utf-8 > /tmp/available.fixed, but the error is still present. I did not install
davmail etc.
Can anyone help me? Ubuntu 14.04.1 is quite new, perhaps are there other
reasons.
