Michael, could you provide a test case for this SRU bug? It's been pending verification for nearly a month; I could switch to a non-ascii locale for testing, but I don't know how to trigger the dbus exceptions that are required in order to trigger the problem.

Hey,

Thanks for the e-mail. That problem is old, I am still using ubuntu
11.04 beta 2. Today I am reinstalling. I think it will be solved.

Greeting,
Ernst

Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/781874/comments/11 for the current status of this, this needs a new upload to natty-proposed. Also, this needs to be fixed in oneiric first.

Hey,

Ubuntu 11.04 has about bik 10+ problems, whit Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10
didn't had any problems. So I don't know whits one of the 1000 problems
this e-mail is about.

Please except my apology about this message, all do I am using Ubuntu
sins Ubuntu 5.04, but I am thinking to start using another. Especially
that you are not using the new Gnome and calling the normal Ubuntu
“classic”. That one was for netbooks, right?

Greeting,

The change from the natty SRU is included in oneiric; so either it's fixed, or it's not and the natty SRU should be marked 'verification-failed' as well.
