Okay, it's pretty clear what's going on: update-manager fails to open the meta-release file, so it presumes it's being run for the first time and attempts to create ~/.cache/update-manager-core, which it can't. Could the program fall back to a system-wide file (e.g. under /etc) in a case like this?
(It seems like u-m would also have this problem if the ~/.cache directory doesn't exist for whatever reason, since os.mkdir() doesn't behave like "mkdir -p"...) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686091 Title: check-new-release-gtk crashed with IOError in _buildMetaReleaseFile() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
