A fatal error has been detected in update-manager.
My system is debian unstable (sid) Gnome. I did aptitude safe-upgrade last night. After the upgrade, gnome-update-manager stopped working and gives me the subject message. Any idea on how to get it back working?
Well, I did the same and I still get the error message. I use Synaptic to do my Squeeze updates. Still, I wish the normal 'UpDate Manager' would work.
Can't say I'm missing much. Still... I'm certain it'll be taken care of sooner or later.
Same here. I dont use it for actual updates (i use aptitude/apt-get from the command line) cause its kinda slow, but it makes the reading of the changelogs easy.
I am facing the same issue again. However, although it says "A fatal error has been detected in update-manager", I noticed that the update manager is working in the background.
