Bug Description
I run update manager, and it finds an update available for a third party package
I choose to install it, and it says the package is broken.
I guess that is true and that may be the third party's provider fault.
However, after this, update manager CRASHES, and that's certainly a bug in update manager, because no matter how broken a package may be, it must give me options for safely treating the problem (skip installation of the updates, uninstall the package, retry, etc), but certainly not crash.
