The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding update-notifier. This problem was most recently seen with package version 3.192.38, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/e8eeed367adc9f2602fec155d19013736a59b99c contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports.
If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/. |
[ Description ]
If you have malformed apt lists, list-oem-metapackages, a script which update-notifier runs before it launches update-manager, can crash.
[ Fix ]
Catch failures to construct an apt.Cache object and exit.
[ QA ]
1. Edit a list file in /var/lib/apt/lists which is being used - for example that for the Ubuntu archive's 'main' component.
2. Type some gibberish at the top.
3. Run /usr/lib/update-notifier/list-oem-metapackages as a regular user.
4. When using the current version of update-notifier this should crash. After updating it should print an error and exit 0.
5. Now you can `apt update` or revert what you did in step 2 manually.
[ Where problems could occur ]
We're proceeding to run update-manager now when we know that apt is in a bogus state. This was the status quo for a long time before the recent update which introduced list-oem-metapackages, but we could maybe do something different there.
