It is not fixed in Gutsy. I could now reproduce it, after adding the key 0x3714DD6A to my apt keyring.
It appears like the encoding of the key itself is invalid and software- properties-kde should handle this better (by ignoring it). At least KGpg displays the key desc "scrambled", while "apt-key list" displays it correctly. I will attach the offending key, so that you can test it easily. After "sudo apt-key add 0x3714DD6A.pub.gpg" I get the "Installer crashed"(?) dialog with the same traceback. ** Attachment added: "Offending GPG key" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9093357/0x3714DD6A.pub.gpg ** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- software-properties-kde crashed with error " 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 27-28" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
