[Spock11 (spock11)]

Got this bug when doing security-only update in Ubuntu 10.10 , and am following the error message's instructions to report it here. The first part of the error message says:

"An unhandlable error occured
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry."

The rest of the error message is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Note that I previously tried to report this, and the Launchpad site *itself* failed with the following error message:
"Timeout error
Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad.
We’ve recorded what happened, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Trying again in a couple of minutes might work."

Anyway, I have no idea what the aptdaemon error message means, but since it happened during a *security* update, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence that the update actually got installed - I have no idea how to tell if everything actually installed or not.

When I run the Update Manager again, it acts as if nothing wrong had occured, and it tells me that I'm already up-to-date.

The Ubuntu Software Center works normally and I can download stuff there.

I read somewhere to try opening a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update", so I did that, and after entering my password, it showed a bunch of stuff but I couldn't tell if if was actually *doing* anything or updating anything - here's what it showed:
