Which language do you use? Please run "export LANG=C" in the terminal before you start update-manager.

I can confirm this bug. It stopped to work after update from the edgy beta CD install to the current state. The repositories dialog shows the same error. The LANG trick does not help. I am also using polish version.

could you please run the following commands in a gnome-terminal:
$ unset LANGUAGE
$ export LC_ALL=C
$ update-manager
?

I suspect that this is a broken translation in the langpack for polish.

Cheers,

This (unset LANGUAGE ; export LC_ALL=C) did the trick.
I guess that you are right - this must be connected to the polish translation package. Should we refile the bug against some other package? which?

I can reproduce the crash here using the latest po file from rosetta.

The problem seems to be an error in launchpad po file export function. It turncates the plural definition in a wrong way. So if you reimport a po file, it will break.

I have reimported file with corrected plural, so it should be fixed soon

Paweł T. Jochym (jochym) wrote :

It is still not fixed. The same messages are printed. This is a real problem. The update-manager is a program ALL ubuntu users use (or are supose to use) often. And it is run as one of the first programs after installation. This bug leads to the confusing situation for any inexperienced user (workaround: just select "Install all updates" (Zainstaluj wszystkie aktualizacje) from the popup menu). And this bug affects at least all polish users. Please fix this before release.

There is no need to remember us of the importance of the bug. We all know very well about this. The import queue seems to have some serious problems again :/ I uploaded po files some days ago.

Sorry! I was not remainding.
I have submitted the report after checking that recent (2 days ago) language pack upgrade did not fix this issue. I was just trying to be helpfull... Do not get mad :)

Take care!

New langpacks will be uploaded at Friday. If Rosetta still exports wrong Polish data for update-manager, I will manually fix them.

Please test the daily language packs and report back:
