I suspect that this is a race condition between synaptic read the package cache and packagekit. Packagekit gets a org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged "cache-update" signal when synaptic finishes its reload operation. This is a bug that seems to be caused by improper locking.
I would welcome if you could check if you have packagekit installed when the error happens. -- E: The package cache file is corrupted E: _cache->open() failed, please report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
