Title:
  backend_helper.py crashed with DBusException in call_blocking():
  com.ubuntu.SoftwareProperties.PermissionDeniedByPolicy:
  com.ubuntu.softwareproperties.applychanges

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  oneiric install, dist-upgraded to precise, and dist-upgraded to
  current today, trying to login with unity (3d), I get this failure,
  and no panel.  I suspect that those two are not related, and that the
  unity panel issue could be pebcak.
