[Bug 1505337] Re: update-manager crashed with aptdaemon.errors.AptDaemonError in commit(): org.debian.apt: kinit#auto isn't a valid package name

[Brian Murray]

Speaking to mvo about this he believes its possible that update-manager
and aptdaemon were updated but that the running aptdaemon was not
replaced with the new version of aptdaemon. Subsequently, the flag was
passed to aptdaemon and it didn't know how to handle it.

Looking at the Aptdaemon.txt attachment in this bug report we can see
the same process id used for aptdaemon even after the package is
upgraded.

So this theory seems likely.
