update-manager crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[Marco Carvalho]

I installed this precise pangolin Beta 2 from scratch in this not so up-to-date notebook - a Pentium Dual Core of about 4 years of age. It's video card is a SIS 671 which is not supported in standard UBUNTU, so I had to do some tricks in order to make it usable. Basically I installed git, xorg-dev, mesa-common-dev, libdrm-dev, libtool, build-essential and compiled a new driver found with:

git clone git://github.com/hellnest/xf86-video-sismedia-0.9.1.git

And that was all I did so far. After that, when I launched the update manager, I say that is able only to do partial upgrades, and after that it says that cannot recognise which ubuntu version I am using, and asked me to install ubuntu-desktop or kbuntu or something else so it could recognise which version I have. I'm not sure wheather the changes I've made are related to the bug, but anyway, I'm reporting it.

Hope this is helpful
