[Bug 1429450] Re: update-manager won't run after recent package update of update-manager

[Brian Murray]

The version of the python-apt that you have installed is not the
official Ubuntu version:

python-apt 0.9.3.5ubuntu1~ubuntu12.04.1 [origin: LP-PPA-launchpad]
python-apt-common 0.9.3.5ubuntu1~ubuntu12.04.1 [origin: LP-PPA-launchpad]

Try installing the version of the package from the Ubuntu archive and
see if the problem still exists. If it doesn't then you should take it
up with the owners of that PPA.

Title:
  update-manager won't run after recent package update of update-manager

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The summary line rather says it all.  I'm not sure which update of the
  'update-manager' package triggered the problem, but it definitely was
  within the last 3-4 weeks.  When I run from the command line, this is
  the error message I receive:

  morse at s3 ~> update-manager
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 33, in <module>
      from UpdateManager.UpdateManager import UpdateManager
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 59, in <module>
      import GtkProgress
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/UpdateManager/GtkProgress.py", line 76, in <module>
      class GtkOpProgressWindow(apt.OpProgress):
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'OpProgress'

  Also, update-notifier, in the indicators along the top of Unity's
  interface, shows a large red circle with a horizontal white line
  running partially through middle of it (i.e., the "do not enter"
  traffic sign used internationally, or at least in the West, used to
  indicate "wrong way" if you go down the associated path).
