Error when trying to update: 'ProcessError: 0 - ErrorInProc...'

[Kajetan]

I'm having problems with updates lately: When I click on the 'update'-button next to the name of a program in the System Settings the update is downloaded, but is not beeing installed. The error message I get is "ProcessError: 0 - ErrorInProc..." (the message is shortened like this, even in landscape mode). When I click on the 'retry'-button I either get the same error or sometimes 'DBusError: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject No s...'.

Since I get the same error message for nine updates that could be installed I suspect that there could be a bug in the System Settings. However, a PayUI update installed without an error.

Are there logfiles which could help to pinpoint the problem?

Device: Nexus 4
OS: Ubuntu 14.10 (r203)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Happens on also on my Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi
Ubuntu 14.04 (r1)
Last updated (when installing): 24/08/2014
Could be related on rights to write on the disk partition (after some googling).

After a sudo apt-get upgrade my device stopped booting and I had to re-flash Utopic. However, I was able to create a backup of my home directory (and the log files in it). Right after the flash I was notified about the same updates that couldn't be installed before. However, they could be installed without an error this time.

Have the same bug with my nexus 5 and ubuntu utopic.
Some applications was updated successfully others no with the same error message.

Logs are in .cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log — are you able to reproduce and attach it to this issue? (I realize this issue is old, sorry about that.)

[Kajetan (kajetan-krischan)]

I'm sorry, I don't have the backups of those logs anymore... (And I can't reproduce the issue)

[Jonas G. Drange (jonas-drange)]

Okay, sorry about the lag!
