Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

1) r...@hilbert:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 9.10
Release:        9.10

2) r...@hilbert:~$ apt-cache policy update-manager
update-manager:
  Installeret: 1:0.126.9
  Kandidat: 1:0.126.9
  Versionstabel:
 *** 1:0.126.9 0
        500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) I press install, and it installs. Alternatively, update-manager
crashes and I am able to report the issue.

4) update manager crashed when pressing install, before it asked for the
password. I am not allowed to report the problem.

The problem cannot be reported:

You have some obsolete package versions installed. Please upgrade the
following packages and check if the problem still occurs:

libgssapi-krb5-2, libk5crypto3, libkrb5-3, libkrb5support0


Looking in .xsession-errors I find:
Traceback (most recent call last):

This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
checking for valid crashreport now
update-manager
** (update-notifier:2224): DEBUG: fire up the crashreport tool

This is not the first time I encounter this crash behavior. It apparently 
occurs when the update-manager window has been idling for a lot of time and I 
then press install. As if the cache somehow becomes invalid.
If I restart the update-manager or press the update button before installing; 
it works perfectly.
