Public bug reported: I run update manager, and it finds an update available for a third party package
I choose to install it, and it says the package is broken. I guess that is true and that may be the third party's provider fault. However, after this, update manager CRASHES, and that's certainly a bug in update manager, because no matter how broken a package may be, it must give me options for safely treating the problem (skip installation of the updates, uninstall the package, retry, etc), but certainly not crash.
