Bug Description
Binary package hint: bzr
I have used etckeeper with bazaar on this machine since karmic or so, and after an upgrade from lucid to maverick bug #616878 now causes update-manager to report an error:

bzr: ERROR: Unable to determine your name.
Please, set your name with the 'whoami' command.
If I run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" from a terminal, this problem does not occur. Presumably this is because I have 'bzr whoami' set for my account, but root does not. This strikes me as a more common problem than the use case presented in #616878 .
This is a regression from lucid.
