[Bug 982767] Re: aptdaemon crashes during update-manager run: "Could not cancel transaction"

[Edward Donovan]

Hi gentlemen -

I still do not grok bug patterns enough; excuse me.  For me and other
recent reporters, it's the traceback which matches bug 628104, and is
automatically duped to it.  The client-side duping catches it; if you
manually upload the crash, the server-side retracing catches it.

You can see a number of reports there, in recent months.  Ignore my
multiple comments, since I'm summarizing here, and since most are
outdated now, but I can't delete them.

For some, like me, the problem was transient and unimportant.  Others
seem to have their upgrades broken by it, but they have not reported
back, nor subscribed.

If we cannot find any lasting breakage when this hits, it may be a
matter of an uncaught exception, that we might handle more routinely.

Title:
  aptdaemon crashes during update-manager run: "Could not cancel
  transaction"

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This crash is the subject of bug 628104 and bug 855394.  Those are
  marked fixed but it's still happening.  The latter bug was closed,
  with this comment:

    "As we have not received any duplicates of this bug since January
  and the bug pattern has received no hits, I am going to mark this bug
  report as Fix Released for Precise and set the Oneiric task to Won't
  Fix. In the event that anyone encounters this bug in the future please
  report a new crash report."

  This is that bug report. :)

    "There really was no clear indication, a changelog for example, that
  bug 628104 was really fixed."

  That might be true.

  A number of users have tried to report the crash through apport, but
  the traceback has always been duped to bug 628104.  Which none of us
  can re-open.

  I myself cannot reproduce it.  The recent information is all at
  628104.  Thanks.
