[Bug 1795278] Re: software-properties-{qt, kde} attempts to use KUrl but it doesn't exist

[Walter Lapchynski]

Michal, that's not how patching works, unfortunately. You can put all
that in a file and use the `patch` command. The easy way is to go to the
folder containing the file and run `sudo patch < /path/to/diff`.

Or you could simply edit the file (/usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/softwareproperties/qt/SoftwarePropertiesQt.py) according to the
instructions given by the diff:

 1. Starting at line 709, look at it and the following 7 lines for a total of eight lines (this is what "-709,8" refers to in the original)
 2. Note, too, that after the change, the same hunk is referenced as "+709,7" meaning that the end result is one less line.
 3. Remove the definition of the "url" variable in line 712.
 4. In the next line (which is now 712) which defines the "filename" variable, change it from using the KFileDialog.getOpenFileName method to the QFileDialog.getOpenFileName method. Note that the arguments and their order are different.
 5. Save it and try again.

Title:
  software-properties-{qt,kde} attempts to use KUrl but it doesn't exist

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Release: Kubuntu 18.04
  Version: 0.96.24.32.1

  When clicking the "Import Key" button in the "Authentication" section
  of the panel it throws this error:

      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/kde/SoftwarePropertiesKDE.py", line 667, in add_key_clicked
          url = KUrl.fromPath(home)
      NameError: name 'KUrl' is not defined

  While this doesn't crash the program it causes nothing to happen when
  clicking the button. Running the program in a terminal reveals the
  error being printed to stderr.

  After debugging it appears KUrl doesn't exist anywhere and I'm not
  sure if's a python module that has changed.
