his same bug affects me too. I run ubuntu 10.04 and cannot use update-manager or synaptic package manager. Also, these two prorams ask for and reject my pass word. This never happened before, at least, inot until I tried upgrading amarok to amarok 2.4.0.Every time upgrading to 10.10 or 11.04 is attempted, invariably I have to start over again with a new re-install to rid my systems of its bugs or problems. Is there a list of programs one can use to go by in de-upgrading, say, from 10.10 down to 10.04? If there is, how would I get a hold of it?

Your help in this will greatly be appreciated.

This bug should now be closed as invalid because it is over 5 years old and the version of Citadel it was reported against has not been in Ubuntu for years. (The oldest version is currently 7.86, which is in Precise.)
