Thanks for your bugreport. Can you please do a: $ ls -l /var/lib/apt/extended_states ?
It likely that the problem can be solved with: $ sudo chmod 644 /var/lib/apt/extended_states What is the umask of your root user? Thanks, Michael P.S. The feisty version of update-manager does not need root anymore to check for updates. Only to actually install them is root required. -- [apport] update-manager crashed with SystemError in open() https://launchpad.net/bugs/84613 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
