apparently failed to install - reason not known

[Helen McCall]

Binary package hint: mandvd

I am puzzled because mandvd is already installed on my system. mandvd (2.5-4-0ubuntu1)

However I found a warning notice on the top bar of Gnome saying it had failed to install!

This appeared after installing updates in the Update Manager (Ubuntu 9.04 amd64) - but these did not include mandvd!

mandvd works fine!

This appears to have been a spurious notice.
