Bug Description

This is a bug in Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 4.

I have started kpackagekit. Then I press the button "Software Updates".
The program then reports in the title bar that "an internal system error has occurred".

Text in the error box "A problem that we were not expecting has occurred.
Please report this bug with the error description."

Details:
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 632, 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()):

I have no further information for you.
