update-manager crashes with deprecation warning about some "float"

[Martin Olsson]

mnemo@kingfish:~$ update-manager
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:188: DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float
  self.gconfclient.set_int("/apps/update-manager/launch_time", time.time())
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
mnemo@kingfish:~$ update-manager
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:188: DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float
  self.gconfclient.set_int("/apps/update-manager/launch_time", time.time())
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
mnemo@kingfish:~$

It happens every time I try it. Since there is a reference to the source file and line, it should be fairly easy to figure out what the bug is.

I also get deprecation warnings in Ubuntu 9.04 update-manager-1:0.99 , but it does not crash. It works as expected.

$ update-manager
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:188: DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float
  self.gconfclient.set_int("/apps/update-manager/launch_time", time.time())
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/dbus/connection.py:242: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters
  super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Thanks for your bugreport.

I don't get the crash here, but I fixed the warning in my bzr tree, please reopen if that does not fix the crash (will be part of update-manager 0.100.1).
