[Bug 1899269] Re: update-manager crashed with FileNotFoundError in __init__(): [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type: '/var/lib/dbus/machine-id'

[Brian Murray]

While this system was installed with an unofficial remix of Ubuntu, it
does seem like there may be a missing fallback option with update-
manager. Here's the source code of the Traceback:

        # a stable machine uniq id
        try:
            with open(self.UNIQ_MACHINE_ID_FILE) as f:
                self.machine_uniq_id = f.read()
        except FileNotFoundError:
            with open(self.UNIQ_MACHINE_ID_FILE_FALLBACK) as f:
                self.machine_uniq_id = f.read()

Perhaps the fallback machine_uniq_id should be one that installs all
updates which are being phased.

Title:
  update-manager crashed with FileNotFoundError in __init__(): [Errno 2]
  Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type: '/var/lib/dbus/machine-id'

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There was no distribution update. I simply made a fresh install with
  Ubuntu-unity 20.10 beta by formatting the original partition that
  contained Ubuntu-unity 20.10 development.

  I then attempted a clean, update, and upgrade using the terminal.
  That's where I received the software pakage manager crash message.
