update-manager crashed with TypeError in _get_last_apt_get_update_text()

[J. M. Castroagudín Silva]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I think this bug is strongly related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-support-ar/+bug/277902 .

This time, It happens when using Ubuntu Karmic Koala and galician as language (gl).

I guess I could fix the translation myself, but i am not sure which string to look for.

Also, i think it could be considered some kind of security problem, as unexperienced users (i mean, that ones who don't know how to open a terminal and type "aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade") won't be able to install security updates...

Thanks in advance!

Well, apparently it just does not happen any more. I did an "aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade", and then, i tried launching update-manager again, and it works perfectly...

But... it must be said: aptitude did not upgraded anything... So now I am not sure what happened here.

Anyway, sorry for all this noise...
