Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Hi!
In Asturian language (ast), Update-manager not update when I push the button Install.

In english or spanish updates!

I was debugging the application.
The error is when the update command is created in run_synaptic method:

The asturian list for the command is this:
/usr/bin/update-manager
['/usr/bin/gksu', '--desktop', '/usr/share/applications/update-manager.desktop', '--', '/usr/sbin/synaptic', '--hide-main-window', '--non-interactive', '--parent-window-id', '39845891', '-o', 'Synaptic::closeZvt=true', '--progress-str', 'Por favor, aguarde; esto pue llevar un tiempu.', '--finish-str', "L'autualizaci\xc3\xb3n complet\xc3\xb3se", '--set-selections-file', '/tmp/tmp4YBL1S']

The apostrophe of "L'autualiza..." break the update command for terminal, and update-manager not update!

 "L'autualiza..." is the translation for asturian language:
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/ast/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=l%27autualizaci%C3%B3n+comple

Update-manager never update when a tranlate message has an apostrophe!!!
I thing this is a high or critical bug!
Best regards!

Thanks for your bugreport.

What version of ubuntu do you run? And what version of gksu? We fixed a quoting problem like this a while ago, I wonder if it has come back.

Hi! In Hardy ;) (Intrepid isn't translate yet. We're translating now).
I didn't know the gksu now, I need go to home ;) (In 8 hours I will put it).
Best regards.

I have Hardy too. I have seen the video "out.ogg" , and I have the same problem. The version installed of gksu is 2.0.0.5-ubuntu3.
Update-manager doesn't update packages.

What's happen with this bug? Why is "incomplete"?
I change the translation (I remove the apostrophe) for works the Update manager in asturian, but the bug persist.
Please, change it to Confirme! Thanks very much!
