** Description changed: + [Impact] Widespread crashes instead of proper error messages any time something goes wrong with aptdaemon. + [Test Case] Make sure you have the appropriate language pack installed, for some locale that uses a lot of non-ASCII characters (I chose Japanese). To make it easier to see the error in action, kill any currently-running aptd processes, and run 'sudo /usr/sbin/aptd' in one terminal. In another terminal, run 'LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= aptdcon --install germinat' (typo intentional). With a broken aptdaemon version, this will cause aptd to crash. If you're running 12.10, then to provoke this bug you need to run aptd using python rather than the default python3. + [Regression Potential] I think we just need to make sure that translated messages are still displayed correctly. + + Original report follows: + i got same bug on ubuntu 12.04 ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: aptdaemon 0.43+bzr769-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-12.21-ux31 3.2.2 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-12-ux31 x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.91-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Feb 3 22:03:36 2012 DesktopFile: /usr/share/aptdaemon/aptdaemon.desktop ExecutablePath: /usr/sbin/aptd InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha amd64 (20120125) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python2.7 PackageArchitecture: all ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/aptd ProcEnviron: - + PythonArgs: ['/usr/sbin/aptd'] SourcePackage: aptdaemon Title: aptd crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in _set_error(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 9: ordinal not in range(128) UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-02-03 (0 days ago) UserGroups:
