[Bug 1969460] Re: software-properties-gtk crashed with TypeError in on_driver_selection_changed(): Expected a string or a pair of strings

[Robie Basak]

Hello Shih-Yuan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-properties into jammy-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-
properties/0.99.22.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on 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 add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Description changed:

  - Impact
  
  software-properties-gtk hit an exception when dealing some drivers
  
  - Test Case
  
  On a Dell XPS 13 9320 enable ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6 and try
  to install libcamhal-ipu6ep0 using software-properties-gtk
  
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/d3c26abd1d80970615ad06cff24972cee3001e57
  should not include reports on the new version
  
  - Regression potential
  
  The change make the driver code ignore one extra type of error, it
  shouldn't impact on any of the already working cases. Ensure that
  drivers that were hitting the error correctly install now
  
+ [racb] It's possible that we accidentally catch and hide a real error
+ due to an unrelated TypeError exception being raised inside the try
+ block.
