** Summary changed:
- update-manager fails to install todays updates due to "undefined symbol:
PyUnicodeUCS4_DecodeUTF8"
+ Many python programs fail with: "undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_DecodeUTF8"
** Description changed:
- Happens everytime I run it. If I run it from
- "System::Administration::Update Manager" then first the apport icon
- appears in the gnome-panel notification area but when I click the apport
- icon it just disappears without ever showing any UI.
+ With python2.6 version 2.6.1-1ubuntu5, many extension modules fail to
+ load, resulting in fatal errors such as:
mn...@kingfish:~$ update-manager

+
+ The problem is corrected in version 2.6.1-1ubuntu5.1. Note that since
+ Update Manager is one of the affected programs, users affected by this
+ bug will need to upgrade using apt-get in a terminal:
+
+ $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
