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

[Edward Donovan]

I can now reproduce this, and might rewrite the description, and even
reopen the status.  But I will wait a while to hear back in my last
comment, before trying that.

In brief, to reproduce it, quit update-manager from the Launcher
quicklist, during a running upgrade.  It may not happen 100% of
attempts, but should only take a couple tries before starting apport,
and leading to 628104, as described above.  Thank you.

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.
