I believe this seems like a pygobject issue for desktop to investigate, probably a type declared wrong somewhere?

A.k.a "Unchecking packages in update-manager causes SIGSEGV" bug #2027941

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

It happens if packages are deselected with a mouse click. If the keyboard spacebar is used instead (with focus on the package name or whole line, not the checkbox) it doesn't crash AFAICS.

[Nathan Teodosio (nteodosio)]

I can confirm #4 on Oracular.

I cannot even send the crash report though, 'apport-bug /var/crash/_usr_bin_update-manager.1000.crash' returns without sending it (as far as I can tell).

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

In /var/crash do you have a _usr_bin_update-manager.1000.upload file and a _usr_bin_update-manager.1000.uploaded file?

If you do you have a .uploaded file please cat it and paste the UUID here for further investigation.

Does the .crash file contain a Traceback from a python application? I've recently heard from the current apport maintainer that there are some issues with python tracebacks being reported.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Apport didn't work for me either, so I ran gdb python manually. The traceback is identical to the OP one in bug #2027941.

No.

I used apport-unpack to verify that the *Stacktrace* files did not contain
tracebacks from Python.
