Title:

  Update impossible with update-manager -- loses connection to daemon

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:

  Confirmed

Bug description:

  When hitting 'Install Updates' on the Update Manager, it briefly greys

  out the manager but does not actually proceed to update anything.

  syslog says something has been queued:

  Nov 16 09:03:45 myserver AptDaemon: INFO: CommitPackages() was called: dbus.Array([dbus.String(u'')], signature=dbus.Signature('s')), dbus.Array([dbus.String(u'')], signature=dbus.Signature('s')), dbus.Array([dbus.String(u'')], signature=dbus.Signature('s')), dbus.Array([dbus.String(u'')], signature=dbus.Signature('s')), dbus.Array([dbus.String(u'icedtea-6-jre-cacao'), dbus.String(u'icedtea-6-jre-jamvm'), dbus.String(u'liblightdm-gobject-1-0'), dbus.String(u'openjdk-6-jre-headless'), dbus.String(u'openjdk-6-jre-lib')], signature=dbus.Signature('s')), dbus.Array([dbus.String(u'')], signature=dbus.Signature('s'))

  Nov 16 09:03:45 myserver AptDaemon.Trans: INFO: Queuing transaction /org/debian/apt/transaction/7d380769c12e48aa99632f955582f2f3

  after a while a window pops up informing me that

  "Task cannot be monitored or controlled"

  The connection to the daemon was lost. Most likely, the background daemon crashed.

  Details:

  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It seems that the daemon died.

  Which is true since syslog tells us:

  Nov 16 09:06:04 myserver AptDaemon: INFO: Quitting due to inactivity

  Nov 16 09:06:04 myserver AptDaemon: INFO: Quitting was requested

  apt-get per commandline works fine as a workaround.
