This looks like a duplicate of a bug in bzr-dbus fixed mid december.
However bzr-dbus didn't have version information in it at that point, so
its hard to be sure. I'm pushing a commit adding that to the plugin
shortly.

Bug confirmed. I have lates bazaar from Ubuntu repository.

This bug is also encountered when updating on a computer connected to via ssh.

I'm pretty sure that this is the same as bug #279486, which was fixed upstream but not in intrepid.
