[Bug 1159741] [NEW] Update manager will not start

[Matthew Constable]

Public bug reported:

When I try to launch the software updater from unity or by doing $
gksudo update-manager the application does not launch, and from time to
time I get a crash report that I'm prompted to send off. I've tried
reinstalling the program, checked dependencies and such things.
