update-manager crashes upon start

[pe3k]

I'm running Intrepid, using Slovak language version. Sometimes update-manager crashes this way:

~$ sudo update-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 92, in <module>
    app.main(options)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 1083, in main
    self.fillstore()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 926, in fillstore
    self.update_count()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 663, in update_count
    if self._get_last_apt_get_update_text() is not None:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 642, in _get_last_apt_get_update_text
    ago_hours) % ago_hours
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

This looks like the Solvak language has removed a format string (%s) from one of the:
          return ngettext("The package information was last updated %s day ago.",
                          "The package information was last updated %s days ago.",
                          ago_days) % ago_days
      elif ago_hours > 0:
          return ngettext("The package information was last updated %s hour ago.",
                          "The package information was last updated %s hours ago.",
                          ago_hours) % ago_hours
strings. I reassign.
