Subject: gdebi-core: Broken format string in DebPackage.py:279
Package: gdebi-core
Version: 0.6.0
Severity: important
Tags: patch
When attempting to install a package that would break another package's
dependencies, the following exception terminates the app (CLI or GTK
version):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gdebi", line 83, in <module>
if not debi.open(args[0]):
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/GDebi/GDebiCli.py", line 86, in
open
if not self._deb.checkDeb():
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/GDebi/DebPackage.py", line 368,
in checkDeb
if not self.checkBreaksExistingPackages():
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/GDebi/DebPackage.py", line 283,
in checkBreaksExistingPackages
'depversion' : dep.version}
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string
I'm not attaching a patch file, per se, but I think it qualifies as a
patch to
suggest replacing line 279 of DebPackage.py with:
self._failureString += _("Breaks existing package '%(pkgname)s'
dependency %(depname)s (%(deprelation)s %(depversion)s)") % {
i.e. delete the i before (depversion). I have confirmed that this fixes
the problem locally by editing the file under /usr/lib.
