Hmm apport claims this bug is the same bug I've just hit; I'm not 100% convinced. (I used appor-tcli on the crash file to try and file it)

This is fully repeatable on my Kubuntu box; I start update-mananger it downloads a package list (?) and then dies with:

(update-manager:4494): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'com.ubuntu.update-notifier' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

If I install 'upgrade-notifier' it works; so depending which way you take it, this is either a missing dependency or a missing check.

Here's my backtrace:
