<type 'exceptions.NameError'>: global name 'trans' is not defined

Binary package hint: aptdaemon

I was doing a software update on 19/04/11 at 4.30pm south australian time (UTC + 9.30) and received an error that "an unhandable error occurred. There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and perform other package management related tasks."
Laptop is a Toshiba T230D PST4LA-00R008, ubuntu was installed from Beta 1, upgraded to Beta 2 (via update manager) before this happened. I don't know if it's relevant, but after hibernating the machine this morning, it failed to start, and so i had to reinstall grub from the 11.04 Beta 1 Live x64 that i had on a USB stick. After ubuntu sucessfully started again, it detected the problem and i clicked report problem but was told that several packages were out of date and to do an update and see if the problem reoccurs. That was why i was updating this afternoon.
Hope that helps,
Jason
