[Jaunty] Cannot Edit Software Sources In Adept

[Lambros Bezedes]

I have upgraded my Kubuntu distro from Intrepid to Jaunty (9.04 - development branch) for testing. When i try to edit the software sources in Adept the program fetches the package list instead.

Adept version is 3.0~beta4ubuntu6.1 0

Could you paste the output of trying to run "kdesudo software-properties-kde" in the console?

After a recent update the promblem seems to be resolved.

Same here in Intrepid KDE 4.2. Here's the output when run "kdesudo software-properties-kde" :

The trace above is incomplete, kdesudo crashes because of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281877. With the sudo command i get the complete trace. It seems that the file kde4.py is missing from the current kde 4.2 packages.

Looks like transient python issues that were resolved by the time jaunty was released.
