Comment 20 for bug 1026066

dino99, I'm not sure what went wrong for you, either. Could it be a different type of quote character in your file? Hm.

This may be what you have already done, but I'll spell out what I did to apply Martin's patch for aptdaemon, until a fixed aptdaemon package is released:

Here's a direct link to the patch:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~aptdaemon-developers/aptdaemon/main/diff/848

Firefox doesn't display that, it just prompts me to save it, and most browsers probably will, too. It will save it as:

  848_847.diff

Note where it is saved; probably in ~/Downloads .

In the shell, do this:

  cd /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/
  sudo patch < ~/Downloads/848_847.diff

I'd recommend that for anyone who wants to fix this bug on the systems while waiting for a release. dino, if that doesn't work for you, still, I guess I'll be scratching my head.
