[Bug 1026066] Re: software-properties-gtk crashed with ImportError in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/client.py: No module named gobject

[Edward Donovan]

dino99, I'm not sure what went wrong for you, either.  Could it be a
different type of quote character in your file?  Hm.

This may be what you have already done, but I'll spell out what I did to
apply Martin's patch for aptdaemon, until a fixed aptdaemon  package is
released:

Here's a direct link to the  patch:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~aptdaemon-
developers/aptdaemon/main/diff/848

Firefox doesn't display that, it just prompts me to save it, and most
browsers probably will, too.  It will save it as:

  848_847.diff

Note where it is saved; probably in ~/Downloads .

In the shell, do this:

  cd /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/
  sudo patch < ~/Downloads/848_847.diff

I'd recommend that for anyone who wants to fix this bug on the systems
while waiting for a release.  dino, if that doesn't work for you, still,
I guess I'll be scratching my head.
