[Bug 393927] Re: Traceback when searching for packages: TypeError: Expected a string or unicode object
So you still have got the error? Do you get translated package descriptions? Which package can you see in the list before the error? In Karmic the APT backend uses a different mechanism for the communication between the packagekit daemon and the backend. The issue should be fixed there. ** Changed in: packagekit (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Traceback when searching for packages: TypeError: Expected a string or unicode object https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
