Could you please append the output of the following command:

apt-config dump

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

Ok. Since it's a laptop, this dump is made only after reboot.

aptdaemon in maverick-proposed Unapproved queue, awaiting ubuntu-sru approval

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted aptdaemon into maverick-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!

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

An aptdaemon security update was released that does not include the fixes from this package in -proposed. A new package needs to be built for -proposed.

Are any of the three bugs that the current maverick-proposed update fixes also fixed in trunk/natty? If so, please close the natty tasks. If not, please fix in trunk/natty ASAP, otherwise this can't go to -updates.

[Richard (richard-borean)]

How do I close the task? I stopped using Ubuntu a while ago.

@Martin: Ican not nominate for natty here, launchpad oopses when I try that. But all the fixes in -proposed are also in natty. But please note that the bugs are not fixed yet the code just adds a lot more details to diagnose the problem.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted aptdaemon into maverick-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!

[Jan Vreeman (janenmarjanlap)]

Thanks, everything works fine after update.
Please let me know if you need further information.

So, in easy to understand terms for a non-techie, what do I do?
Thanks,
Andrea

[Ralph Hess (hess-ralph)]

Hi Andrea
Actually, at that level I am a non-techie too. I reported the problem
when it happened, but by the time I had used the update manager a couple
of times the problem apparently just fixed itself because somebody who
did know what they were doing applied a fix, patch , whatever, to the
appropriate package. Seems to have had something to do with that stupid
front that makes the PC look like a phone/pad. Now gone back to Gnome 2.

Cheers, Ralph

Hello friends
I reported the problem and it has never shown again. I have no worries
concerning this.
Best regards
Filip

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

Will there be a Maverick SRU for this? The package is stuck in -proposed.

@Andrea: Which version of Aptdaemon do you have (i.e. apt-cache policy aptdaemon)?

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

Maverick is an end-of-life release now.
