[Bug 958098] Re: software-properties-gtk crashed with ValueError in /usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py: bad marshal data (unknown type code)

[Robert Roth]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Bug description:
  Ok first tried to use Synaptic but when I clicke the "repositories"
  selection in the menu it wouldn't open. No matter what -- I tried to
  close and reopen Synapatic to no avail. Next I tried to open the
  Ubuntu Software Center and it crashed each time. Plan to try a reboot
  soon.
