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

[Edward Donovan]

To be more explicit, I think the recent reports like mine, against
628104, *are* the new duplicates  -- their equivalents, since the system
intercepts them.  (It's been my plan to mail Martin, to ask about this
sort of thing, after release happens.)

Since we can't open the bug we're sent to, bug 915413 was a user's
subsequent attempt to make an open bug, manually.  It got re-traced and
duped to our other friend, bug 855394.  So this bug was my attempt to
make an open bug, and I knew I had to omit the traceback.  (See, it's
all so simple.  Wait, it's not. ;)

For reproducing, I guess my comments in #7 cover it, but I can write
that out in more of a list, if that makes it easier to read.

Since I have the good luck of getting a slice of your attention, Steve,
let me ask you a question about releasing, if you will.  I'm chasing a
few different bugs right now.   I don't know whether this is a time to
work urgently, for a remote chance of making Precise.  Or whether that
has really passed, for anything that isn't truly massive.  In that case,
if anything, I would hold back for this week, and leave the developers
some quiet.  And personally calm down a bit.

Thanks again.

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.
