[Bug 1852772] Re: test_updates_interval fails on focal

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.98.6

---------------
software-properties (0.98.6) focal; urgency=medium

  * cloudarchive: Enable support for the Ussuri Ubuntu Cloud Archive on
    18.04 (LP: #1852489).
  * softwareproperties/dbus/SoftwarePropertiesDBus.py: In SetUpdateInterval,
    convert days argument from dbus.Int32 to int before passing to
    set_update_interval. This fixes a test failures as apt_pkg.config.set
    didn't understand a dbus.Int32 type (LP: #1852772).
  * debian/control: Add gpg and gpg-agent to Build-Depends to fix failing
    unit tests (LP: #1852773).

  test_updates_interval fails on focal

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ======================================================================                                
  FAIL: test_updates_interval (tests.test_dbus.TestDBus)

  Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                    
    File "/build/software-properties-0.98.6/tests/test_dbus.py", line 332, in test_updates_interval     
      self.assertTrue('APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";' in config)                                                                                                                                   
  AssertionError: False is not true   

  Looking closer, while in the SetUpdateInterval() method in
  softwareproperties/dbus/SoftwarePropertiesDBus.py, days is of
  dbus.Int32 type. A simple print output shows:

  days=dbus.Int32(1)

  D-Bus is statically typed, unlike python. More details at:
  https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/tutorial.html#data-types

  I think once we're in the dbus method (SetUpdateInterval() method in
  softwareproperties/dbus/SoftwarePropertiesDBus.py) we can convert the
  dbus.Int32 to an int.
