Public bug reported:
Release:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04
Pacakge:
$ apt-cache policy update-notifier
update-notifier:
Installed: 3.168
Candidate: 3.168
Version table:
*** 3.168 500
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
What should happen:
$/usr/lib/update-notifier$ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check -p
wine-devel-amd64
wine-devel
google-chrome-stable
winehq-devel
wine-devel-i386
What actually happened:
$/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check -p
E: Unknown Error: '<class 'KeyError'>' ("The cache has no package named
'wine-devel-i386'")
Whats wrong:
apt_check.py line 143:
ignored = ul._is_ignored_phased_update(aptcache[pkg.name])
needs to use a full package name that includes the arch:
ignored =
ul._is_ignored_phased_update(aptcache[pkg.get_fullname(False)])
There are many other reports of this problem - the suggested 'solution' in many
cases is to run package manager/apt to install all the updates which then
'fixes' the problem until the next
update for wine becomes available.
