Reopen. Three times in the last two days apport complains about the need to install missing packages, well again, the reason for calling update-manager was in fact to install updates. After calling update-manager, it says there is a 'problem with a system application' (whatever that's supposed to be) do you want to report it, yes, authentication request, collect info, request to install python-dbus, no report. As the screenshot tells python-dbus in fact isn't marked for upgrade.
Observed this behaviour of apport only occurs when update-manager is called via session-menu. The crash never happens when update-manager is called through other options or by updating via terminal. Since crash files are all from aptd wondering if the culprit is aptd itself or some early apport hook. ** Attachment added: "apport-complain-vs-python-dbus.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/913306/+attachment/2695120/+files/apport-complain-vs-python-dbus.png ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/913306 Title: apport invokes too early Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Happens daily on first upgrade attempt with update-manager. Doesn't happen on further attempts. Open update-manager via dash. Reload package cache. Result: 'There is a system application having problems, do you want to report it'. - Yes Apport collects it's data, then says 'the problem can't be reported you have outdated packages, you need to update <package> this and that.' (screenshot) @Apport, I know, that's the reason why update-manager was opened in the first place. The upgrade can be proceeded as usual. Expected: Let update-manager do it's job first before complaining about missing packages.
