With the attached patch applied, the initial error is no longer present, but the install still fails.
When _CapturedInstallProgress is instantiated from: apt.package.Package.mark_install(pkg.name) inst_p = progress_cb and MyInstallProgress(progress_cb) or None there is a python traceback (my live session died, so this is approximate) in _CapturedInstallProgress at apt.progress.base.InstallProgress().__init__(self). The error is two arguments provided when only one is permitted (error from memory, so it's not exact). I don't see where multiple arguments are provided: class MyInstallProgress(_CapturedInstallProgress): def __init__(self, callback): _CapturedInstallProgress.__init__(self) self.callback = callback def statusChange(self, pkg, percent, status): # consider install as 50% of the total progress for installation logging.debug('install progress %s %f' % (pkg, percent)) self.callback('install', int(percent/4+50.5), 100) class _CapturedInstallProgress(apt.progress.base.InstallProgress): def __init__(self): apt.progress.base.InstallProgress().__init__(self) self.out = None def fork(self): '''Reroute stdout/stderr to files, so that we can log them''' self.out = tempfile.TemporaryFile() p = os.fork() if p == 0: os.dup2(self.out.fileno(), sys.stdout.fileno()) os.dup2(self.out.fileno(), sys.stderr.fileno()) return p If someone else could pick this up, that'd be great. I need to sleep. ** Patch added: "Patch that fixes part of the problem" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/1239298/+attachment/3876563/+files/partial.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239298 Title: Fails to install Broadcom wireless drivers from Kubuntu live session Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “jockey” source package in Saucy: New Bug description: I think this is the relevant bit from the log: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/jockey-kde", line 286, in on_button_toggle_clicked if self.set_handler_enable(h_id, 'toggle', False): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 670, in set_handler_enable handler_id, enable) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 98, in convert_dbus_exceptions return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 90, in dbus_sync_call_signal_wrapper raise _h_exception_exc dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.AttributeError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in _message_cb retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 337, in _f_result_wrapper self._f_result = f() File "/usr/share/jockey/handlers/broadcom_wl.py", line 53, in enable Handler.enable(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/handlers.py", line 263, in enable self.repository_sign_fp) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 635, in install_package repository, fingerprint) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/oslib.py", line 258, in install_package class MyFetchProgress(apt.FetchProgress): AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FetchProgress' ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: jockey-kde 0.9.7-0ubuntu14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.336ubuntu1 Date: Sun Oct 13 09:05:22 2013 LiveMediaBuild: Kubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Beta i386 (20131013) MachineType: Dell Inc.
