Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tzdata
Running as a guest in VirtualBox (from Oracle,
3.2.12-68302~Ubuntu~lucid). The Update Manager was trying to update
tzdata (as well as update Firefox because of a security update). I
think this is my first attempt at an update after installing Natty in
the virtual machine.
Details from Update Manager (copied from the "Package Operation failed"
window):
