This is STILL happening to me approximately every week. Still haven't figured out why it happens.
This is my work around: 1) sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-i386_Packages 2) sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* 3) sudo apt-get update Unfortuanately, it _does not_ prevent it from happening again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999979 Title: update-manager crashes when trying to Search for Updates in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/999979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
