[Bug 828850] Re: software-properties-gtk crashed with DBusException in call_blocking(): com.ubuntu.SoftwareProperties.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: com.ubuntu.softwareproperties.applychanges

[Paul Drain]

Can also work around it with <TAB> -- always seems to occur after a
failed repository warning has appeared on screen, the process to make it
crash (for me) is:

* Run Update Manager
* Update Manager warns that "Failed to download repository information / Check your Internet connection." (in my case, from a non-oneiric PPA repository)
* Click Settings / Other Software
* Attempt To Unselect Failed Repository = Crash

This is on a Beta 2 Oneiric Install updated to 26-09-2011
