[Bug 520952] Re: Tracebacks when upgrading from Karmic

[WaywardGeek]

This is caused by some UTF-8 data somehow getting into the menu data.
Default encoding is "ascii" in python, and when python tries to
manipulate the UTF-8 menu string, it crashes.  The program that is
failing is /usr/sbin/update-app-install, in
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/xdg/Menu.py.  If I add at the top of this
file:

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF-8')

Then the update-app-install program seems to work.  When I run gnome-
app-install, everything works until I hit the "Apply" button, where it
crashes with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/gnome-app-install/AppInstall/AppInstallApp.py", line 1040, in on_button_ok_clicked
    self.applyChanges(to_add, to_rm)
  File "/usr/share/gnome-app-install/AppInstall/AppInstallApp.py", line 1017, in applyChanges
    ret = self.install_backend.commit(pkgs_add, pkgs_rm)
  File "/usr/share/gnome-app-install/AppInstall/backend/InstallBackendAptdaemon.py", line 23, in commit
    exit_handler=self._on_exit)
TypeError: commit_packages() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exit_handler'
