Hi Michael, I reproduced the crash, but gdb indicated nothing.
As you can see above I get an 'please run dpkg --configure -a' error. I did this and include the output bellow and in file. One more question though: Is there any relevance to this bug? I ran it from the live cd and not many people will be using 'root# update-manager -c -d' from a live cd. Still I am glad to help you out if it can discover any significant weaknesses in the code off course.
