[Bug 1053292] Re: update-manager crashed with RuntimeError in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py: Gtk couldn't be initialized

[Anne]

This bug affects me but I'm having other troubles with the update-
manager. Once it has installed updates, it should relaunch itself and
check that the system is up-to-date but it doesn't. Most of the time the
result is that I can't boot the day after. Today, I had a complete black
screen, I could only use the tty. I suspected that the problem came from
update manager so I uninstalled it with the option --purge. After that I
made an apt-get update, re-installed update-manager and re-run apt-get
update. It appeared that some packages, all of them concerning gnome,
were not up-to-date. I ran an apt-get upgrade and rebooted. It was the
thing to do because it solved the problem.

I'm good! :)
