Do you have the python-apt package installed?

[Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen (ralf-nieuwenhuijsen)]

I had the same issue just now.
But if you do a dist-upgrade it will work again.

Unfortunately you cannot use update-manager to so now.
Go into a terminal and type:

  sudo aptitude update
  sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

And it will update python-apt .. and it will work again.

I was able to get out of trouble with Synaptic.

1. Reload
2. Mark all upgrades

3. Apply

Apparently a python package had been fixed, and put into
the Repos.

Fixed. Thanks.
