Bug Description
[Impact]
This is one of the top-reported bugs on error.ubuntu.com. It seems to occur when you've inserted an Ubuntu CD and started the package manager.
[Test Case]
sudo apt-get remove synaptic
/usr/lib/
[Regression Potential]
I think very low. The only affected code path is right before this crashes unconditionally anyway. So even if this screws something up, it can't make it worse. We import a module from python-dbus, but we already were using python-dbus, so dependencies and module use aren't changing.
