Public bug reported:
I'm running under Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS with KDE 4.4.5 and Software Update
0.5.4 from System Settings 1.0
I'd just looked up software updates from System Settings. There was an
update for a package (youtube-dl) which I knew from previous update
searches would be blocked by another package. I removed that youtube-dl,
then went back to software updates and refreshed it. Instead of
reloading waiting updates, I got the following error.
A problem that we were not expecting has occurred.
Please report this bug with the error description.
