There is no crash log for apt.  Apt works fine.

Update-manager crashes.  I can attach the log if you want, but it all
boils down to the last line:

SystemError: E:Could not open file /var/lib/apt/extended_states - open
(13 Permission denied), E:Unable to determine the file size - fstat (9
Bad file descriptor)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/crash]% ls -l /var/lib/apt/extended_states 
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2007-01-12 17:58 /var/lib/apt/extended_states


Whenever I run aptitude from the command line (as root or via sudo, it creates 
the file extended_states but leaves it totally empty).

At present, I simply delete the extended_states file before running
update-manager.  Command line works fine by itself, update-manager fine
by itself.  Trying to mix them leads to the problem.
