[Bug 972993] Re: Could not initialize the package information

[Leith Caldwell]

I was able to get around this bug by trying different source servers -
this leads me to think that the bug is actually a problem with some of
the inidividual servers (in my case the NZ one) and not necessarily with
the update manager itself. It would have been nice to have it try other
sources by itself, though.
