I got basically the same thing during an update this week. I don't recall whether the file names were the same but the i/o warning was.

Thanks for your bug report. Is the problem still reproducible?

Changed in update-manager:
assignee: nobody → ubuntu-doc

I can reproduce this. However, as far as I can see it has nothing to do with ubuntu-docs, so I'm moving it back to scrollkeeper.

I have no idea as this happened during an apt dist-upgrade of my Dapper flight 6.

I have actually the same problem with dapper drake final upgraded from flights...

scrollkeeper-rebuilddb doesn't help.

The problem is reproducible. just as easy as running scrollkeeper-update.

After editing /usr/share/omf/update-manager/update-manager-C.omf the problem disappeared. probably libxml2 bug

Mila: what did you change? If it's a problem in /usr/share/omf/update-manager/update-manager-C.omf, it's an update-manager bug.

Daniel, you are right. I've made several changes and it seemed to me that joining lines in <rights> element did the work, but it didn't. The problem is that identifier tag is missing. The strange is that I must run scrollkeeper-update twice to prevent it from complaining.

I don't think that the patch is correct.
The url attribute in the identifier element should not point to the omf file itself. It should rather point to the correct documentation file to be used by scrollkeeper-conforming help browsers.
I'm not sure which file this is, but I think it should be /usr/share/gnome/help/update-manager/C/update-manager.xml (for the C locale as long as there are no other locales available).
The upstream maintainer should know if this really is the user documentation or if some other file would be more suitable.

P.S.: Any chance of this making it into Dapper even though it's not a security bug?
