Bug Description

Update Manager crashes every time I unselect, or no later than when I re-select an offered package to be upgraded in Ubuntu 23.04. No crash handling dialog window ever pops up (why?), no stack trace is available when update-manager is launched from terminal. The only output I was able to get from a terminal window is this:

~$ update-manager
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The manager crashes every time I have to modify the list of updated packages probably since the installation of Ubuntu 23.04. I had to do an upgrade from Ubuntu 22.10 to an RC of Ubuntu 23.04 if I remember correctly, because the new installer of Ubuntu 23.04 did not offer installation to a secondary LUKS-encrypted partition in a dual boot with Windows (only full-disk erase was offered). I later discovered that my /boot partition is too small to contain firmware update images and, since the last few days, also new Linux kernel. This is typically what I try to unselect, which makes the upgrade-manager window disappear silently and never re-appear again.
