Chowning to root was not enough but just making ~/update-manager/meta-
release not readable by the current user was, so you could just chmod it
to 0000 or something alike.
However, update-manager seemed to work even after the crash (apport
spawned). Thus, I don't think it's critical, but update-manager should
handle it more gracefully anyway.
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed

Update manager crashes if ~/.update-manager/* isn't owned by the user.
