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.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'org.debian.apt': no such name</i>
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:
<pre>

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

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