Title:
  update-manager crashed with OSError in _get_application_for_package():
  [Errno 5] Input/output error

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

Bug description:
  I started update-manager with "gksu update-manager" from an i3
  environment.  The update manager downloaded the updates okay, but it
  seemed to hang while installing one of the kernel packages.  I did a
  little poking around with strace.  update-manager was waiting for a
  Perl child process to finish.  The Perl process seemed to be stuck
  doing a read (fd 3, if I remember correctly).

  I got tired of waiting, so I killed the update manager window (alt-q)
  and rebooted.

  After the system rebooted I logged in to the Xubuntu session.  I
  started the update manager from the apps menu.  I got an error pop-up
  from update manager window:

      Package operation failed

      The installation or removal of a software package failed.
      [Settings...]                                       [Try again][OK]

  This was followed by a notice of a crash.
