Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please check if you have the package python-vte installed? Does the crash go away if you run:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-vte

thanks,
 Michael

[René Brandenburger (rene-brandenburger)]

OK, did a

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-vte

update-manager works fine after reboot. To get the same situation as when the crash happened, i need to wait untill the update-manager asks me to reboot and I initiate a reboot by clicking on the symbol of the update-manager in the notification area. Is there an easy way to let the update-manager request a reboot?

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

The easiest way for this is to:
$ sudo touch /var/run/reboot-required ; sudo /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp

[René Brandenburger (rene-brandenburger)]

fine, no crash this time, tried it several times

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Thanks for this additional inforrmation.

If you could attach /var/log/apt/term.log, that would be nice. I wonder if pycentral did something wrong during the python-gtk installation.

[René Brandenburger (rene-brandenburger)]

here is the term.log, if you need an older one, i can supply it too

[Richie Ward (richies)]

This would be hard to reproduce but i got this after first full upgrade on Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 1

[Richard Birnie (rbirnie-deactivatedaccount)]

Most recent comment says this still occasionally occurs in Hardy. Setting status to confirmed

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are closing this report because you reported this bug a while ago and there is no recent duplicate nor user mentioning having the issue on Intrepid. If this is still an issue, don't hesitate to reopen the report. Thanks again!

[littletinman (littletinman)]

Well, i'm guessing the problem got fixed somehow. Thanks.
