[Bug 2072634] Re: TypeError exception when importing Unity

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:24.10.5

---------------
update-manager (1:24.10.5) oracular; urgency=medium

  [ Nathan Pratta Teodosio ]
  * Ignore TypeError exceptions to importing Unity (LP: #2072634).
    Unity is imported just for integration, which is not essential to
    Update Manager functionality, so if for whatever GI quirks it fails to
    be imported, Update Manager ought not to crash.
