Public bug reported: On dist-upgrading vom oneiroc to precise this appeared first at the very end of the upgrade process in the update-manager and now appears on each implicit start of the update-manager.
I can reproduce the problem on manually calling the script: ~> sudo python /usr/share/pyshared/DistUpgrade/xorg_fix_proprietary.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/pyshared/DistUpgrade/xorg_fix_proprietary.py", line 160, in <module> if ver and apt_pkg.VersionCompare(ver, "2:1.5.0") > 0: ValueError: _system not initialized ProblemType: Crash Date: Fri Mar 2 08:21:30 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/update-manager ExecutableTimestamp: 1326448883 InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python2.7 ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/python ./xorg_fix_proprietary.py ProcCwd: /tmp/update-manager-TFEgcM PythonArgs: ['/usr/bin/update-manager'] Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./xorg_fix_proprietary.py", line 160, in <module> if ver and apt_pkg.VersionCompare(ver, "2:1.5.0") > 0: ValueError: _system not initialized UserGroups: ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-crash -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944607 Title: update-manager crashed with ValueError in ./xorg_fix_proprietary.py: _system not initialized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/944607/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
