Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastian Heinlein (glatzor)]

Could you please check if the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.debian.apt.conf exists. If so could you please attach it here. Thanks. Do you get this error every time you try to install something or just one time?

[Etai Sandow-Vandel (itay-vandel)]

Please see the attached file.

I had the error a total of 3 times while installing updates using synaptic,
other times the error did not repeat itself so I wasn't able to find
consistencies.

Sorry, I have not seen that the packageKit interface is affected. Could you please attach the following files if they exist:

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit-aptd.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf

Thanks

[Etai Sandow-Vandel (itay-vandel)]

Unfortunately the files you are requesting no longer exist, I've had a host
machine crash and lost the virtual machine.
I will, however, reinstall and attempt to reproduce the the problem.

Hi, I am having the same problem. That is, my Ubuntu freezes, or shuts down unexpectedly or restarts unexpectedly. I was following this thread and am therefore attaching the file which was mentioned here.

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.debian.apt.conf

[Subhayan Mukerjee (p-registrations)]

oh the other two files as well. One after the other :

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit-aptd.conf

[Subhayan Mukerjee (p-registrations)]

Also, I do not seem to have the file

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf

on my system.

It seems like this has not been reproduced on quantal (according to comments here, duplicates, and errors.ubuntu.com). Has anyone experienced this on quantal?
