This was most probably fixed in jockey (0.9.4-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fix release: - oslib.py: Do not encourage to report package installation failure as SystemError, it will appear as a backend crash [...] * jockey/oslib.py, {install,remove}_package(): Capture apt's stdout/err into the log file, to get proper error messages when packages fail to install. (LP: #552300). The newest duplicate (bug 829729) still has version 0.9.3. This crash would happen if a package failed to install, which is usually not a problem in jockey itself. However, to see what actually happened, we need the jockey log from a version >= 0.9.4 (due to above fix of actually logging the package installation failure). So I am closing this, as jockey 0.9.4 now tells the user when a package failed to install, instead of just crashing. The log file will tell what really happened. ** Changed in: jockey (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645922 Title: jockey-gtk crashed with BackendCrashError in convert_dbus_exceptions() Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Just got this error during a testinstall of todays maverick daily via usb/usb-creator.
