It looks like kinit was being installed for the first time on my system:

2015-10-12 11:16:44 install kinit:amd64 <none> 5.15.0-0ubuntu1

Here's the Traceback:

I was able to upgrade my laptop without an issue and packages also contained the #auto tag, so I'm not certain what went wrong here.

The Error Tracker has a bucket with similar crashes:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/7ebdd3a47a22b40385f9eb92e6a329765708cf19

As expected only the 15.10 crashes contain #auto part. A report from 15.04 contains the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/defer/__init__.py", line 483, in _inline_callbacks

The aptdaemon changes look complete and before the valid package name check we can see the auto_flag tag is stripped.

2070 for fullname in pkg_names:
2071 name, version, release = split_package_id(fullname)
2072 name, sep, auto_flag = name.partition("#")
2073 if not auto_flag in ("", "auto"):
2074 raise errors.AptDaemonError("%s isn't a valid flag" %
2075 auto_flag)
2076 if not re.match(REGEX_VALID_PACKAGENAME, name):
2077 raise errors.AptDaemonError("%s isn't a valid package name" %
2078 name)

Speaking to mvo about this he believes its possible that update-manager and aptdaemon were updated but that the running aptdaemon was not replaced with the new version of aptdaemon. Subsequently, the flag was passed to aptdaemon and it didn't know how to handle it.

Looking at the Aptdaemon.txt attachment in this bug report we can see the same process id used for aptdaemon even after the package is upgraded.

Am getting the same when running "ubuntu-manager -d", then trying to update to Ubuntu 16.04.
