2017-11-11 11:03:27 Vlad Orlov description System: Xubuntu 14.10 apturl version: 0.5.2ubuntu4 If you'll tell apturl to use the Synaptic backend (by either removing aptdaemon from the system or specifying UPDATE_MANAGER_FORCE_BACKEND_SYNAPTIC=1 before apturl in the terminal), it crashes with this error: $ UPDATE_MANAGER_FORCE_BACKEND_SYNAPTIC=1 apturl apt://gcalctool /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/AptUrl/gtk/GtkUI.py:4: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Since version 3.11, calling threads_init is no longer needed. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/Threading GObject.threads_init() Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/apturl-gtk", line 43, in <module> ui = GtkUI() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/AptUrl/gtk/GtkUI.py", line 38, in __init__ self.backend = get_backend(self.dia) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/AptUrl/gtk/backend/__init__.py", line 49, in get_backend return InstallBackendSynaptic(*args, **kwargs) TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'action' [Impact] The Synaptic backend in apturl is non-functional. Trying to use it makes apturl crash with Python error message. The fix for this issue is provided in the debdiffs attached to the report. It's a long-standing bug which is present in all current Ubuntu releases, starting from Trusty. Would be nice to get it finally fixed. A non-working backend isn't good at all, especially when the only other backend (aptdaemon) might be removed soon, as stated in bug 1673258. [Test Case] The easiest way to make apturl use the Synaptic backend (without removing aptdaemon from the system) is to set the environment variable when launching it from the terminal: $ UPDATE_MANAGER_FORCE_BACKEND_SYNAPTIC=1 apturl apt://gnome-calculator You can use any other package which isn't installed. I chose gnome-calculator as it wasn't installed in my Xubuntu and Ubuntu MATE systems. The result of this will be crash of apturl with Python error message. The package won't be installed. [Regression Potential] The patch only affects the Synaptic backend. It doesn't affect aptdaemon backend or any other parts of code. Since the Synaptic backend was broken before, it's not possible to break it further with some regression. [Original Description] System: Xubuntu 14.10 apturl version: 0.5.2ubuntu4 If you'll tell apturl to use the Synaptic backend (by either removing aptdaemon from the system or specifying UPDATE_MANAGER_FORCE_BACKEND_SYNAPTIC=1 before apturl in the terminal), it crashes with this error: $ UPDATE_MANAGER_FORCE_BACKEND_SYNAPTIC=1 apturl apt://gcalctool /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/AptUrl/gtk/GtkUI.py:4: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Since version 3.11, calling threads_init is no longer needed.
