Title:
  update manager systematically crashes because of a problem in a single
  package

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I run update manager, and it finds an update available for a third
  party package

  I choose to install it, and it says the package is broken. 
  I guess that is true and  that may be the third party's provider fault.

  However, after this, update manager CRASHES, and that's certainly a
  bug in update manager, because no matter how broken a package may be,
  it must give me options for safely treating the problem (skip
  installation of the updates, uninstall the package, retry, etc), but
  certainly not crash.
