Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
update-manager needs to catch and handle failure to execute gksu. At the time of this crash, gksu was not executable. My report is not about execute permission on gksu, but rather about update-manager handling the error more gracefully.

Thanks,
this happens when /tmp is mounted nonexec usually. Could you please check/confirm this?
