Shawn,
I deleted the directory, but pm-checkforupdates failed in the same place. I
ended up hacking up the script to add "return
enumerations.UPDATES_UNDETERMINED" in the first line of
check_last_refresh(api_obj), ran it to generate the file and then removed that
line. Now things are working as they should. Some things to note:
* The gui_cache directory was created prior to the crash. My guess is the
gui_misc.get_cache_dir() did that.
* Even though the cache file didn't exist, gui_misc.read_cache_file() did not
throw an exception. Instead, it returned an empty list which was the root of
the crash.
I hope this information helps track down the issue for others, but I've hacked
my way past this problem.
Gary
