update-manager crashed with TransactionFailed in _convert_dbus_exception()

[Vincent Ladeuil]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I did a first install in a VirtualBox new host and this went well (I was amazed by the improvments there, as with each new release :).

I then did called update-manager and it said the linux-image-2.6.35-9-generic was broken.
I went to synaptic and was able to re-install it.
Coming to update-manager, I got this crash.
