TypeError traceback immediately after start

[Yinon Ehrlich]

Ubuntu 8.10
update-manager 0.93.34

changed my language to Hebrew in order to confirm this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/316171

opened a terminal and write update-manager - it starts the GUI, and after 1 second crashes with the following TraceBack:
File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 92, in <module>
    app.main(options)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 1083, in main
    self.fillstore()

    self.update_count()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 663, in update_count
    if self._get_last_apt_get_update_text() is not None:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 642, in _get_last_apt_get_update_text
    ago_hours) % ago_hours
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

Note: I got the same error when ran `sudo update-manager`
Another note: I got this just after an upgrade which requires reboot (kernel) however, I still didn't reboot when running the update-manager again.

One more note: I logged out and log-in again using my default language (English) - everything is OK.
so - somehow it's may be related to the language... see bug/316171

This is most likely a incorrect translation what has a different number of "%s" than the original english string.
