The problem is probably that dbus.String() expects a unicode string, and
aptdaemon is sending a utf-8 string.
Maybe is should be using value.decode("utf-8") instead:
self._last_package = dbus.String(value.decode("utf-8"))
Python example:
$ python
>>> import dbus
>>> s="Hi in Greek is Γεια"
>>> dbus.String(s.decode("utf-8"))
dbus.String(u'Hi in Greek is \u0393\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1')
>>> dbus.String(s)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
