[Karmic] After last round of updates and reboot kpackagekit dies trying to start update search

[Roland Hughes]

Received this error when attempting to launch KPackageKit after a reboot. All updates that could have been applied this morning were applied. As I recall there were still 24 blocked updates when I got done.

Error Type: Error Value: 'PackageKitCache' object has no attribute '_dict' File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 1966, in main() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 1963, in main run(args, options.single) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 1925, in run backend.dispatcher(args) File : /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 643, in dispatcher self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 540, in dispatch_command self.get_updates(filters) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 653, in get_updates for pkg in self._cache.getChanges(): File : /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py, line 164, in getChanges for p in self: File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/apt/aptBackend.py, line 196, in __iter__ for pkgname in sorted(self._dict.keys()):

This is now going to require some kind of "hand" fix since the update process cannot start. I imagine mish-mashing KPackageKit and Synaptic has wonderful side effects.
