Autokey crashes on post-install, "stop" action checks the return message rather than the return code.

As a workaround until we release a fix, can you tell me if the following works when run in the terminal:
 sudo /etc/init.d/autokey stop
 sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I wasn't able to reproduce your problem when I reinstalled the autokey package. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
* Did you install autokey from another source prior to upgrading to Karmic?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Hello Luke Faraone, thank you for your time. Here about terminal instruction....

k@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/autokey stop
[Errno 3] Nessun processo
k@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
k@ubuntu:~$

About your question.....

1 - I can't try if this is reproducible. I can't uninstall, reinstall this pack. Every time feedback the same message error.
2 - NN
3 - I installed autokey directly in Karmic, from pack-service.

P.

Looks like this is a localization bug. Replace the "stop" command above with this:
 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 sudo /etc/init.d/autokey stop

and tell me if that works for you.

This bug was fixed in the package autokey - 0.61.0a-1

---------------
autokey (0.61.0a-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
  * Patch daemon.py to fix bugs in non-english locales (LP: #479131)

This bug is SRU-worthy because it blocks uninstallation on non-english locales. It is fixed in 0.61.0a-1, which was just installed into Lucid. The bug is a one line fix where we check errno rather than the error string.

Regression potential: none

:: TEST CASE ::
root@karmic-vm:~# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
root@karmic-vm:~# invoke-rc.d autokey start
root@karmic-vm:~# pkill -9 -f autokey
root@karmic-vm:~# LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 invoke-rc.d autokey stop
[Errno 3] Aucun processus de ce type
invoke-rc.d: initscript autokey, action "stop" failed.
root@karmic-vm:~#

And if the pid file is still there, autokey refuses to start.
root@karmic-vm:~# LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 invoke-rc.d autokey start
pidfile /tmp/autokey-daemon.pid already exist. Daemon already running?
invoke-rc.d: initscript autokey, action "start" failed.

ACK from ubuntu-sru for the contents of the patch. Please fix the version number and upload target suite before uploading, thanks!

accepted into karmic-proposed, please test

Attach debdiff which *actually* fixes the bug. Personally verified as working.

ACK from SRU for updated debdiff

Accepted into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Verification succeeded with karmic-proposed.
test log attached. Thanks

This bug was fixed in the package autokey - 0.54.5-1ubuntu0.2

  * Include simple-patchsys in debian/rules so prior patch is applied. (LP: #479131)
