Update-manager crashes. I can attach the log if you want, but it all boils down to the last line:
SystemError: E:Could not open file /var/lib/apt/extended_states - open (13 Permission denied), E:Unable to determine the file size - fstat (9 Bad file descriptor)
Whenever I run aptitude from the command line (as root or via sudo, it creates the file extended_states but leaves it totally empty).
At present, I simply delete the extended_states file before running update-manager. Command line works fine by itself, update-manager fine by itself. Trying to mix them leads to the problem.
There is no crash log for apt. Apt works fine.
