Comment 8 for bug 338071

Michael/Bugfix:

I have continued to try and use Update Manager to download updates, thinking this my correct itself. But I have had no success to get passed the error listed in the error report.

Cheers,

Al

Bug description:
o.k., have installed the new beta for the next version of Ubuntu. When I ran Update Manager today, I was successful to download a large number of updates, but when I try and install them, I get the following error:

Error fork pty

The updates will not install, as this error terminates the processing.

Ubuntu 9.04 - the jaunty jackalope

synaptic 0.62.5

Also I cannot open a terminal window, it's saying it cannot launch a child process
