** Description changed:
Binary package hint: update-manager
On some updates, including those within the last day for KDE (7/25/06),
when I go to the update notifier, it shows the available updates for a
few seconds, but the "loading" mouse cursor keeps going, and then X
crashes. Trying to go through Update Manager (rather than the notifier)
produces the same result. The first time it happens, hitting Ctrl-Alt-
Backspace brings me back to the login, successive times it does this on
its own. This is only the second update that has done this to me, but
on any particular set it is reproduceable indefinitely. This is the
only program I have seen X crash on. Updating from command line works
just fine.
Doing gksudo update-manager 2> update-error gave me the following:
warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
The application 'update-manager' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
The application 'gksudo' lost its connection to the display :0.0;

+ Minor update: I just noticed that at the time, I could not access the
+ server these packages came from when doing an update. After a reboot, I
+ could access them just fine. Whether or not this has anything to do
+ with X crashing, I don't know. Also, updating within Synaptic works
+ fine.
