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. -- [feisty] [apt] command line apt-get/aptitude breaks update-manager https://launchpad.net/bugs/74190 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
