Title:
  update-manager-core 1:0.126.9 package installation fails with Python

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager-core

  Update Manager reported problems updating a couple of packages: update
  manager and nvidia (this latter reported separately).  Did not take
  notes to start with so tried to re-install through Synaptic the two
  packages for update manager already installed and got the error quoted
  below (presumed the same errors as in the first occurrence).

  Details: The first occurrence of the error with the update manage
  package was during the very first session of Update Manager in a fresh
  installation of Ubuntu 9.10 for a desktop CD (downloaded a week after
  release but re-installed today), thus hopefully reproducible.

  Error as reported in Synaptic's Changes Applied dialog, Details box
  during package re-installation:
