Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager-core
Update Manager reported problems updating a couple of packages: update
manager and nvidia (this latter reported separately). Did not take
notes to start with so tried to re-install through Synaptic the two
packages for update manager already installed and got the error quoted
below (presumed the same errors as in the first occurrence).
Details: The first occurrence of the error with the update manage
package was during the very first session of Update Manager in a fresh
installation of Ubuntu 9.10 for a desktop CD (downloaded a week after
release but re-installed today), thus hopefully reproducible.
Error as reported in Synaptic's Changes Applied dialog, Details box
during package re-installation:
