Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

On a Lubuntu Maverick i386 system in a Lubuntu Desktop session, I opened an LXTerminal window very shortly after logging on, and I ran "sudo apt-get update". That completed successfully, but Apport informed me that check-new-release-gtk had crashed with ImportError in build_ui(). This system has update-manager 1:0.142.2. I suspect that the crash is due to an unexpected package manager locking conflict (and that if I had waited to run apt-get until after check-new-release-gtk acquired a lock, the crash would not have occurred). This is the second time this crash has occurred on this machine; it occurred about one day previously, under the same conditions, but I was unable to report it with Apport due to some old package versions (which I since upgraded).

Same for me: got this crash merely by installing 12.04 on a PowerBook g4 (and checking both download updates and install 3rd party software) and booting into it. After booting I got this popup windows saying that the update manager failde to launch. Sent the report, and relaunched. Crashed again. Third attempt it lauches and the Updated manager opens, but when I tell it to dowload updates, it stays with the windows "applying changes" with status "waiting" long time. It finally completes the update. Hope this helps.
