Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

During an Intrepid->Jaunty upgrade, I encountered bug 296324, which caused vim-runtime and its reverse dependencies to fail to upgrade. This (expectedly) resulted in /var/crash/vim-runtime.0.crash. Unexpectedly, it also resulted in /var/crash/update-manager.0.crash.

Thanks for your bugreport.

This is fixed now in bzr. There was code to detect if the error was handeld already, but it had a bug that caused them to be reported twice.

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:0.96.4

---------------
update-manager (1:0.96.4) jaunty; urgency=low

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    - do not generate apport report against update-manager if
      cache.commit() failed. the report is generated against
      the failing package instead (LP: #311220)
    - honor RELEASE_UPRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY environment and do
      not comment out third party repositories in this case
      (useful internal repositories, make sure that sudo does
       not clean this env when you make use of it)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgrade.cfg:
    - remove powermanagement-interface on upgrades for ubuntu
      and kubuntu (no longer needed by them)
  * DistUpgrade/DevelReleaseAnnouncement:
    - include a different release announcement for the
      development releases
  * pre-build.sh:
    - fix version parsing
