update-manager crashed with TypeError in confirmChanges(): glib.markup_escape_text() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)

[Piers Cilliers]

I don't really know what to say except that I have had so many problems that I can't begin to do this now, it will take too long!!
This error occurs when I check for updates and the Update Manager finds updates but non of the updates are flagged! The top box is flagged and says: Distribution Updates but everything below it is not flagged and CANNOT be ticked?? A secondry box opens and tells me that a partial update is going to have to be done but bugger all is updated?? This because there is nothing to update, because nothing is flagged! I do realize that this is a beta but with less than a month to go heaven help us! At this rate anyway! I'm hoping for a miracle at this stage! Thanks!
