I got almost exactly the same crash when upgrading a small number (~20) of packages. Attached is the traceback. update-manager continued to run normally and completed the upgrade.
I had just changed /etc/apt/sources.list (using the Software Sources applet) to include one of these lines: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates restricted main multiverse universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe but I forget which one. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash Hardy shouldn't have either of those repositories yet? ** Attachment added: "Excerpt from .xsession-errors" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13004825/.xsession-errors -- [apport] update-manager crashed with BadStatusLine in _read_status() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84572 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
