Public bug reported:

Since a week, I'm getting an error on KPackageKit when I try to search
for a package. I type the name in the search box, it looks like it's
searching and then a pop-up called "There was an internal system error"
displays with the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/packagekit/daemonBackend.py", line 109, in run
threading.Thread.run(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line
477, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File

func(*args, **kwargs) File "/var/lib/python-
support/python2.6/dbus/decorators.py", line 309, in emit_signal
message.append(signature=signature, *args) TypeError: Expected a string
or unicode object

When closing the error, no or half search results are displayed.
I already tried reinstalling KPackageKit, but that didn't work.

OS: Kubuntu 9.04
KDE-version: 4.2.4
KPackageKit-version: 0.4-0ubuntu9

What to do about it, other than upgrading to 9.10 alpha?
