[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:0.124.8

---------------
update-manager (1:0.124.8) karmic; urgency=low

  * make the release-upgrader auto selection for the frontend
    more robust when no DISPLAY is avaiable
  * Janitor/computerjanitor/package_cruft.py:
    - use unicode string here (thanks to liw)
  * data/glade/UpdateManager.ui:
    - fix duplicated symbol (LP: #417301)
  * UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:
    - show the on-battery warning on first map only (LP: #416067)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    - do not how a error when the upgrade is canceled by the user
      during download

One instance fixed, perhaps, but another incarnation of the same bug filed as bug 418480.

[Max Bowsher (maxb)]

Apport duped my new bug against this one, so I guess I'll reopen this one.

[josa (johnny-sander)]

Got this problem today after applying last updates. Get a traceback identical to bug 418480 and can not start update-manager. Marked and applied a number of updates using synaptic after this, if that means anything.

I did an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade but the problem persists. Hmm.

[Martin Albisetti (beuno)]

Ditto. Problem still not solved today.

[Kamilion (kamilion)]

Getting this today too after running an update to Aug 31st's latest karmic packages.

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

This problem is fixed with the recent 0.124.9ubuntu1 upload.

If you are affected, please open a terminal window (e.g. gnome terminal from applicatons/accessories) and
type:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager

Check that version 0.124.9ubuntu1 is getting installed (or a later version) and then update-manager
should work again.

[Ryan (ubuntu-draziw)]

Just had a hit with 1:0.124.9ubuntu1. Entered as bug 422618 so that all the apport data would be available.

[Alvin Thompson (alvint-deactivatedaccount)]

ditto #16

[Rob Adams (readams)]

Not fixed; this happens when I press the "Partial Upgrade" button.

[Jamie (jtroybailey)]

[triplesqaurednine (triplesquarednine)]

ya this error is onyl have fixed as of sept 1st updates....yesterday i couldn't open
update manager while today it opened, however clicking on partial upgrade caused it to crash again..obviuosly though, it is the frontend as the command line works just fine..

[Gavo (gavalier-marcel)]

Yes, this crash mi too,
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31182229/Screenshot-2.png

My report has been marked as duplicited with this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422627 .. I dont have permission. I dont know what next.

[Ryan (ubuntu-draziw)]

Froherz - Since we have apport logged faults with the newer code level, why would you mark this incomplete as your very first use of launchpad?

[Ralf (ralf-kaestner)]

@ #17
@ #22

when the crash happens on partial-upgrade-click you need to run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to get beyond it, it helped here.

[Ryan (ubuntu-draziw)]

Michael: maybe this will help?

Crashing now when there is 1 pinned/held package, a few packages with deps that aren't in repos yet, and 1 package that can actually be updated. script output of update-manager run with errors, and apt-get upgrade successfully dealing with things.

update-manager is reporting a version level back from what is installed.
If any other output would be useful - yell. :)

For me update-manager crashes when i click "partial upgrade". error is:

See attachment for full output.

I confirm, I got the newest version as of Sep 2 using Karmic Alpha 4 and partial update do not work and results in crashing the update-manager as described above.

[Delan Azabani (azabani)]

sudo apt-get upgrade
The newest version as I'm posting fixes this bug completely, as far as I've tested.
