Bug Description

The /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop have an errata which causes a wrong gksu dialog mesage.

We must to replace this line:

Exec=gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk

with this line:

Exec=gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk

I attached a trivial patch against /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop file which solves the issue.

  * [KDE] Fix bug in I18nHelper, where it would trigger a crash if unicode()
    to UTF-8 fails. Fallback to latin1 in this case. This for example happens
    when the APT keyring contains a key with non-latin characters, which can
    happen with PPA keys, since those contain the owner's name.
