Binary package hint: software-center

Hi all,

It is not possible as now to evaluate an application from the software center. In beta and alpha I could do it, but now in Natty final I can no more do it. the pop up window shows up with "authentification" writed and hanged here without ending. attached is a screenshot of this pop up window

I can reproduce this with:

[install french locales using gnome-language-selector first]
$ bzr get lp:software-center/4.0
$ cd 4.0
$ LANGUAGE=fr PYTHONPATH=. python utils/report_review.py --review-id 1 --debug

The error I get is:

ERROR:softwarecenter.backend.login_sso:_on_credentails_error for Logithèque Ubuntu: Problem while retrieving credentials (Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/ubuntu_sso/credentials.py", line 118, in inner
    result = yield f(self, *a, **kw)
KeyError: u'\xe8'
)

I'm happy to fix this is my code if I need to use the untranslated appname instead of _("Ubuntu Software Center"). However as this is displayed to the user as a string it seemed to me like the translated string would be more appropriate.

So, I am pretty sure that the 'appname' argument should not be translated. If only to avoid multiple auth tokens when changing languages.

However, if the appname is in fact translated, we should also not fail.

I am not sure if or how effected by this stable-1-0 is, but if it has the same problem we should probably fix it there as well and provide an SRU in Maverick.

Thanks you guy

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I uploaded a update to natty-proposed now. This should appear soon as a update.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted software-center into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

SRU verification for Natty:
I have reproduced the problem with software-center 4.0 in natty and have verified that the version of software-center 4.0.1 in -proposed fixes the issue.

Marking as verification-done
