[Bug 981124] Re: software-center crashed with TypeError in _on_property_changed(): could not convert type dbus.Int64 to (null) required for parameter 0

[Brian Murray]

Hello Dean, or anyone else affected,

Accepted aptdaemon into precise-proposed. The package will build now and
be available in a few hours. Please help us by testing this new package.
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.  If this package fixes the bug for you
please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done.
If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed.  In either case
details of your testing will help us make a better decision.  Further
information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: aptdaemon (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed
