update-manager crashed with TypeError in confirmChanges(): glib.markup_escape_text() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)

[Zak B. Elep]

Daily `update-manager -d' crashed today, as it prompted to do a partial upgrade. Upon confirming partial upgrade, update-manager window changes to distribution upgrade dialog, which crashes sometime later, leading to a "System program problem detected" dialog feedback loop when trying to proceed as a normal user (even after prompted with password.)

Bug had to be reported using `sudo apport-bug /var/crash/_usr_bin_update-manager.0.crash' in a Terminal.
