The error propagation is most likely fixed in 0.98, LP: #1632361 , while u-u can't do much when dpkg fails.

[Bug 1052360] Re: unattended-upgrade crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) for an unknown reason
Just happened to me on trusty, installed yesterday. Looking at my unattended-upgrades-dpkg log, it was immediately clear that in my case it had nothing to do with unattended-upgrades itself. There was a minor problem with the configuration options of one of the programs that got invoked through the scriptlets in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. This caused that program (git, if you have to know) to exit with an error. The error travelled up the call chain, finally arriving at unattended-upgrades which gets the blame. I guess that most of the people commenting here are experiencing something similar: unattended-upgrades getting blamed for an error condition that happens somewhere completely else. Please look at the unattended-upgrades-dpkg log before blaming unattended-upgrades. Re #14, looks like some other process grabbed the lock sometime before unattended-upgrades got to call dpkg (via apt?). It could perhaps be somewhat cleverer about that but if dpkg cannot do its work, there's not much unattended-upgrades can do about that than complain and exit with an error status. In case of a lock, it could reschedule itself or wait until the lock becomes available. Re #11, could be a botched PATH when run from cron. Writing this up, I get the impression that apport is being (ab?)used to report cron jobs that exited unsuccessfully. In the not-so-old days, I would have expected something like this in the mail. Not a popup inviting me to send a crash report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1052360 Title: unattended-upgrade crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) for an unknown reason To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1052360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm I still get this bug on 12.10 after a software update. Attached is a screenshot of the error report details, where I've highlighted an erroneous message about gnupg and gpgv being out of date, when in fact they are fully up-to-date on my system. ** Attachment added: The error details. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1052360/+attachment/3479943/+files/Screenshot%20from%202013-01-11%2000%3A17%3A43.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1052360 Title: unattended-upgrade crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1052360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can reproduce this bug in Xubuntu Quantal. It happens shortly after every boot.

I get this bug reliably and reproducibly. STR: 1. Boot into Ubuntu 2. Wait roughly one minute 3. Crash notification that unattended-upgrades crashed with this signature.

Is this reproducable? Has anyone seen this on a release later than 11.10? (according to errors.ubuntu.com, it hasn't been seen except in 11.10) There's no information in this bug that would help fix the crash. There's no traceback or log information... :-/ Can't do much with this as is. ** Changed in: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1052360 Title: unattended-upgrade crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1052360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
