Public bug reported:
While trying to upgrade from 18.04 to the development version 18.10
using "update-manager -d" the upgrade aborts before "getting new
packages". A windows pops up with the following information:
Error during upgrade
A problem occurred during the update. This is usually some sort of network
problem, please check your network connection and retry.
E:Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'if
/usr/bin/test -w /var/cache/app-info -a -e /usr/bin/appstreamcli; then
appstreamcli refresh-cache > /dev/null; fi', E:Sub-process returned an
error code
This is what is shown in the terminal:
(update-manager:24678): dbind-WARNING **: 16:51:39.742: Couldn't register with
accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote
application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the
reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
