[Bug 700743] Re: Causes Zygrib update to fail

[Julian Andres Klode]

Seems to be an old bug in packagekit-backend-apt (no python-apt involved
AFAICT), so reassigning. But that was dropped now anyway, so closing.

** Package changed: python-apt (Ubuntu) => packagekit (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: packagekit (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Causes Zygrib update to fail

Status in “packagekit” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Apologies if I've got this wrong, but the error appears when software update runs and seems to be associated with an update for Zygrib grib viewer.
  A popup appears, stating that an internal system error has occurred and asking that it be reported via my distro bugtracker so I'm doing my best!

  These are the details given:
