Bug Description
update-manager, when launched, prints some stacktrace errors but keeps working. However, when I push 'install' button it shows only an empty gray frame and prints other errors, ending in:
<i>dbus.
I found this similar (although not identical) problem: https:/
I found other similar problems online and in most of the cases it was suggested to do and apt-get update, dist-upgrade and/or upgrade or to reinstall different packages through aptitude (mainly aptdaemon, dbus or update-manager)
However, after trying this solutions nothing changed.
Someone said that they had found a temporary solution running 'sudo aptd' in another terminal window and then opening 'update-manager'. Trying this solution and running 'sudo aptd' I get the following stack trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/aptd", line 37, in <module>
import aptdaemon.core
File "/usr/lib/
from .worker import (
File "/usr/lib/
import pkg_resources
File "/usr/local/
import packaging.
File "/usr/local/
MARKER_EXPR = originalTextFor
TypeError: __call__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'name'
I tried reinstalling aptdeamon and python3.4 without results.
What I expected to happen: update-manager succeded to install packages and no stacktrace is printed on the terminal

Linux 3.19.0-80-generic #88~14.04.1-Ubuntu x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Other info:
apt-get, synaptic packet manager and Ubuntu Softwar Center seem to work properly
