KDE frontend crashes Qvector inser run out of index

Switching this back to update-manager as python-scipy doesn't have a postinst.

For your informations, the origin of the pb is that dpkg failed becaused I had installed scipy from source a while ago (and forgot that). The presence of real files in /usr/lib/python instead of symlink (the way things are now done in debian/ubuntu) made dpkg fail.

So the real problem is, as stated in the modified title, when a pb occur during the upgrade, the update-manager application just stops. The embedded terminal do not shown anything after that point. Actually, I've noticed that the file descriptor (a pipe I guess) for this embedded terminal is then closed, so the running dpkg just hang waiting for data to be written in this pipe (I've straced it).

I had no other choice than killing it, and finishing the installation with a "apt-get install --configure" in a terminal.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are closing this report because you reported this bug a while ago and there is no recent duplicate nor user mentioning having the issue on Intrepid. If this is still an issue, don't hesitate to reopen the report. Thanks again!
