[Bug 1910802] [NEW] update-manager window blank; pkgs_install_oem problem

[Chris Hermansen]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 20.04, since approximately Nov 2020.

The second window in the update-manager workflow is blank - no active
but invisible controls, no selectable but invisible text.

When I run update-manager from the terminal I see this traceback:

$ update-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Dialogs.py", line 118, in <lambda>
