programming error in apt-daemon

[umi]

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.

how can i fix it?

I can confirm this. During a routine update of the eMachines®/Acer® EL1210-09 (Advance Micro Devices® Athlon 64® LE-1620, nVIDIA® MCP78S chipset, dual nVIDIA® GeForce® GPU's), Serial Number PTNAB0X002847147863001, that I am preparing for use as a projection computer, Update Manager mangled the primary partition of the sole hard drive (only one possible due to the physical design of the planar, which has only two SATA ports, one of which is needed for the optical drive), leaving me unable to completely enter single-user mode. Recommend CRITICAL on the Importance, as this APTDaemon problem will damage a lot of systems in short order if left unchecked.

Correction: I've an incomplete - the issue was traced to a loose signal connection in the hard drive that explains the multiple "frozen_state" statements encountered in the original trace report (lost, not reproduced; mentioned specific lines in sixteen files of the APT Daemon's Python source).
